The Diyode Codeshield

A sketch to read body temperature, and respond with the RGB LED turning blue, red or somewhere in between.

• Thermistor
• RGB LED

Code Used:

• analogRead
• analogWrite
• map

If the thermistor is made hotter or colder than the expected range, it can skip past one extreme to the wrong colour.  The constrain() function can be used to keep this from happening.
