Connecting P2 to LM334Z temperature sensor - MicroPython / Mu demo

Tubular

Here's some code and screenshots from todays zoom demo

Connect the LM334Z between 3v3 and Pin 19. Tune the resistor for around 635 ohms to place output around midpoint (1.65v), allowing zoom in

also Emesystems did a great tutorial on constructing small LM334Z probes @"Tracy Allen"

Here's the MicroPython code for putting into Mu

# Hook a LM334z from 3v3 to pin 19. 
# Tune adjustment resistor to center around 1.65v at temperature of interest, so can zoom in (approx 635 ohms)
