GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Set up the GPIO pin for the thermistor
thermistor_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(thermistor_pin, GPIO.IN)
b_value = 3950.0
resistance_at_25c = 100000.0
while True:
    # Read the analog value from the thermistor
    sensor_value = GPIO.input(thermistor_pin)
    resistance = (1023.0 / sensor_value) - 1.0
    resistance = 100000.0
# Calculate the temperature
    temperature = calculate_temperature(resistance, b_value, resistance_at_25c)
# Log the temperature to a file
    with open("temperature_log.txt", "a") as file:
        file.write(f"{time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')} {temperature:.2f}C
")
time.sleep(60)  # Log temperature every minute
def calculate_temperature(resistance, b_value, resistance_at_25c):
    temperature = math.log(resistance / resistance_at_25c)
    temperature /= b_value
    temperature += 1.0 / 298.15  # Convert to Kelvin
    temperature = 1.0 / temperature - 273.15  # Convert to Celsius
    return temperature
