Gorillacell Module 040: NTC Temperature Sensor
Table of Contents

The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Temperature Sensor is a type of thermistor whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases, and increases as the temperature decreases. This behavior makes it ideal for accurately detecting and monitoring temperature changes in various environments.
For example, an NTC thermistor exhibits low resistance when hot and high resistance when cold.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one NTC Temperature Sensor module for experimenting with temperature measurement and environmental monitoring projects.

PINOUT
It has 3 pins which are
- G - for the ground pin,
- V - for the supply voltage, and
- S - for determining the analog value of the (NTC) Temperature Sensor module.
An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral will be used in order to determine the Thermistor value.
