Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Temperature Measurement using Arduino
This example demonstrates how to use the 5K Cermet thermistor to measure temperature using an Arduino board.
```c++
#define THERMISTOR_PIN A0
#define SERIES_RESISTOR 10e3
#define B_VALUE 3950
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int thermistorReading = analogRead(THERMISTOR_PIN);
  float vout = (thermistorReading  5.0) / 1023.0;
  float Rth = SERIES_RESISTOR / ((5.0 / vout) - 1);
  float temperature = 1 / (log(Rth / 10000) / B_VALUE + 1 / 298.15) - 273.15;
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
  delay(1000);
}
```
### Example 2: Temperature Data Logging using Raspberry Pi and Python
This example demonstrates how to use the 5K Cermet thermistor to log temperature data using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
```python
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import math
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
THERMISTOR_PIN = 17
SERIES_RESISTOR = 10e3
B_VALUE = 3950
def read_temperature():
  GPIO.setup(THERMISTOR_PIN, GPIO setInput)
  voltage = GPIO.input(THERMISTOR_PIN)  3.3 / 1023
  Rth = SERIES_RESISTOR / ((3.3 / voltage) - 1)
  temperature = 1 / (math.log(Rth / 10000) / B_VALUE + 1 / 298.15) - 273.15
  return temperature
while True:
  temperature = read_temperature()
  print("Temperature: {:.2f} C".format(temperature))
  time.sleep(1)
```
Note: In both examples, the thermistor is connected to a voltage divider circuit to provide a stable voltage supply. The SERIES_RESISTOR value should be adjusted according to the specific circuit design. Additionally, the code examples provided are for illustration purposes only and may require modifications to suit specific IoT projects.
