-These stats are for the temperature in the Adafruit shop, the [[http://​www.ladyada.net/​media/​sensors/​TMP35_36_37.pdf|Analog Devices TMP36]] (-40 to 150C). ​ Its very similar to the LM35/TMP35 (celsius output) and LM34/TMP34 (farenheit output). The reason we went with the '36 instead of the '35 or '34 is that this sensor has a very wide range and doensn'​t require a negative voltage to read sub-zero temperatures. Otherwise, the functionality is basically the same.+These stats are for the temperature ​sensor ​in the Adafruit shop, the [[http://​www.ladyada.net/​media/​sensors/​TMP35_36_37.pdf|Analog Devices TMP36]] (-40 to 150C). ​ Its very similar to the LM35/TMP35 (celsius output) and LM34/TMP34 (farenheit output).
