While switches and buttons are great, there's a lot more to the physical world than on and off. Even though the Arduino is a digital tool, it's possible for it to get information from analog sensors to measure things like temperature or light. To do this, we take advantage of the Arduino’s built-in-Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). Analog in pins A0-A5 can report back a value between 0-1023, which maps to a range from 0 volts to 5 volts.

This uses a temperature sensor to measure how warm the skin is. This component outputs a changing voltage depending on the temperature it senses. It has three pins: one that connects to the ground, another that connects to power, and a third that outputs a variable voltage to your Arduino. In the sketch for this project, we read the sensor's output and use it to turn LEDs on and off, indicating how warm you are. There are different models of the temperature sensor. This is convenient because it outputs a voltage that changes directly proportional to the temperature in degrees Celsius.
