This is a Sainsmart uno showing the temperature on a 4 digit 7 segment common cathode display. The temperature sensor is LM35. All these parts are from the Sainsmart uno Starter kit.
I built this using this tutorial on randomnerdtutorials.com At first it didn't work because he uses a common anode display so i had to change the code. I also changed the code to work with the LM35 sensor. I smoothed out the display by only reading the temp every xxx display updates. I could not get the decimal point to work so i messed some more with the code and added a c symbol. I am not a programmer so i guess it is a bit messy and not very optimal but it works. After all the modifications i made this fritzing schematic, i hope it is easy to copy for the beginners like me. On the left of the breadboard i show you the positions of the resistors and the wires on the display. Don't build this on your breadboard. Get the code from pastebin here
