Arduino Body Thermometer + LCD I2C
This is a body thermometer using a thermistor sensor, Arduino and LCD display. I've decided to provide a funny Arduino concept thermometer in case its the middle of the night, pharmacies are not working, you are not feeling well and you want to check your body temperature. If you...
