dear adafruit team - dear admins and arduino fans !
i have a question to article http://www.ladyada.net/make/logshield/lighttemp.html where im not sure about one thing.
in your article (Screenshot with light reading and temperature) you write that the "TEMP reading" sensor has values between 151 - 153 ...
so, lets say tempReading is 151 as a value stored in "tempReading" variable...
now we do the math's
float voltage = tempReading * aref_voltage / 1024;
151 * aref_voltage (which is 3.3 acording to the sourcecode) / 1024 gives us : 0.48662
so now voltage has the value 0.48662 ==> I cannot understand how you received 0.74 volts!!
second math operation is:
float temperatureC = (voltage - 0.5) * 100 ;
so this is (0.48662 - 0.5) * 100; which gives us -1.338 (and not 23.73 degrees....)
could you tell me if i am wrong, my maths skills are not good enough or... i simply did a mistake somewhere in my thinking ??
Thank you in advance for your reply!!
Best greets
phil
