  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
  
  delay(1000);
}
```

### Example 2: IoT Weather Station with Raspberry Pi and Python

This example demonstrates how to create a simple weather station using the Mini LCD Digital Thermometer with Probe, a Raspberry Pi, and Python. We'll use the RPi.GPIO library to read the temperature data and display it on the LCD screen.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Set up GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN)  # Connect the thermometer's output to GPIO 18

while True:
    # Read the temperature data
    sensor_value = GPIO.input(18)
    voltage = sensor_value  (5.0 / 1023.0)
    temperature = (voltage - 0.5)  100.0  # Convert voltage to temperature (C)

# Print the temperature to the console
    print("Temperature: {:.1f} C".format(temperature))

# Update the LCD display (not shown in this example)

time.sleep(1)
```

### Example 3: Wireless Temperature Monitoring with ESP32 and MicroPython

This example demonstrates how to create a wireless temperature monitoring system using the Mini LCD Digital Thermometer with Probe, an ESP32 board, and MicroPython.

```python
import machine
import time

# Set up the thermometer's output pin
temp_pin = machine.ADC(machine.Pin(32))

while True:
    # Read the temperature data
    sensor_value = temp_pin.read_uv() / 1000
    temperature = (sensor_value - 0.5)  100.0  # Convert voltage to temperature (C)

# Print the temperature to the console
    print("Temperature: {:.1f} C".format(temperature))

# Send the temperature data wirelessly using WiFi or BLE (not shown in this example)

time.sleep(1)
```
