Read a temperature sensor

A temperature printed every second.

Medium30 min

No recorded steps

Some pieces of it have run. There are no recorded steps for this project, so this page does not give any.

What exists:

  • LP-MSPM0L1306: Board thermistor reads 22.8 °C; the chip's own sensor reads -165 °C (suspected bad factory trim)

Errors and fixes: LP-MSPM0L1306.

What to build next

Read six sensors on one plug-in boardHumidity, temperature, light and magnetic field printed once a second, with what each should read
Read a knob or a voltageA voltage read by the chip's converter and printed as a number
How fast a chip reacts to a signalHow many cycles from a signal to its handler, and one motor-control step timed

Every build. The code for all of them is in the GitHub repository.

Evidence and limitsThe L1306's board thermistor reads 22.8 °C; its on-chip sensor reads wrong. Ran on 1 board. Results, sources, timing and limits.

WorksCan the NXP FRDM-MCXA153's on-board temperature sensor be read and printed in under ten minutes?
FRDM-MCXA153, 2026-10-11		NXP's SDK example reads the board's I3C temperature sensor and prints it on the serial port with no wires: 22.56 C, 13.6 s to build and 12.4 s to flash.
