Unlike the FSR or photocell sensors we have looked at, the TMP36 and friends doesn't act like a resistor. Because of that, there is really only one way to read the temperature value from the sensor, and that is plugging the output pin directly into an Analog (ADC) input. | Unlike the FSR or photocell sensors we have looked at, the TMP36 and friends doesn't act like a resistor.
