Temperature Sensor Test


We will use two Digital Temperature Sensor Breakout - TMP102s, found here, to detect the temperature of the payload during its flight.  The TMP102 sends a digital signal representing temperature to the Arduino, and must be supplied by regulated voltage between 1.4V and 3.6V. 

We used the setup pictured below to initially test our TMP102.  After determining the correct serial port to use under Tools > Serial Port, we uploaded code to the Arduino.  We opened the Serial Moniter to view the temperature data from the TMP102, and verified its responsiveness to a change in temperature by touching the Temperature Sensor.
