#define DHT_PIN 2 // Pin for DHT11 temperature sensor
DHT dht(DHT_PIN, DHT11);
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  dht.begin();
}
void loop() {
  int sensorVal = dht.readTemperature();
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(sensorVal);
  Serial.println(" C");
  delay(2000);
}
```

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the Stainless Steel Rod as a linear actuator in a robot arm application.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Define motor control pins
MOTOR_FORWARD = 17
MOTOR_BACKWARD = 23
# Set up motor control pins as outputs
GPIO.setup(MOTOR_FORWARD, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(MOTOR_BACKWARD, GPIO.OUT)
def move_arm(forward=True):
  if forward:
    GPIO.output(MOTOR_FORWARD, GPIO.HIGH)
    GPIO.output(MOTOR_BACKWARD, GPIO.LOW)
  else:
    GPIO.output(MOTOR_FORWARD, GPIO.LOW)
    GPIO.output(MOTOR_BACKWARD, GPIO.HIGH)
  time.sleep(1) # Move arm for 1 second
  GPIO.output(MOTOR_FORWARD, GPIO.LOW)
  GPIO.output(MOTOR_BACKWARD, GPIO.LOW) # Stop motor
while True:
  move_arm(True) # Move arm forward
  time.sleep(2)
  move_arm(False) # Move arm backward
  time.sleep(2)
