Title: Temperature sensing (12V 8A Solenoid) - Thermistor to TMP36
Post by: FearTec on September 23, 2020, 03:24:45 am

Hello

I am looking to add temperature monitoring to my 12V 8A solenoid (for a project) and am at a crossroad as to what sensor to use?

I a thinking Thermistor as it is more presentable when attacking to the solenoid compared to the TMP36's TO-92

I spotted my bad spelling of Thermistor in my Arduino screenshot

Apologies, Thanks in advance
