I would like to share my first steps with the Grove 'plug & play' components. This is primarily a Temperature Sensor.
Please do not expect any technical explanation at this point as to how the thermistor used works and how a value in Celsius is determined from this according to a data sheet of the chip manufacturer. An LM358 5BK CSV7G4 was installed in my sensor v1.2.
You can find a datasheet here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeeedDocument/Grove-Temperature_Sensor_V1.2/master/res/NCP18WF104F03RC.pdf
Why now a constant R0 was created and this short listing was not deleted, if this is not used, escapes my knowledge. I am looking forward to the feedback of the hackster-mathematicians who explain the conversion formula and disclose it to non-technicians. Certainly, Fahrenheit is another option which I am coming from the European area, is not powerful.
Well, in the end, the value that comes out of the serial monitor counts. In addition, a value also comes when you take the sensor off the data cable ;-)
Good luck with one of the most commonly used sensors in IoT projects, I believe! Flashing and ducking.
Once the Grove Base Shield is plugged onto the Arduino Uno R3, the Grove's universal cable can be used to connect the Sensor to port A0.
I use the Arduino WebIDE and have the code of Seeedstudio available in the facility for copy & paste. A Libary is not needed.
This short introduction reflects the available original example of Seeedstudio.
