<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nNew to the Raspberry Pi Pico?<\/strong> Read the following guide: Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico (and Pico W)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to install the Raspberry Pi Pico boards on Arduino IDE and you must know how to upload code to the board. Check out the following tutorial first if you haven\u2019t already:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Raspberry Pi Pico<\/a> internal temperature sensor works by checking the voltage of a special diode connected to ADC4 <\/strong>on the Raspberry Pi Pico.<\/p>\n\n\n Accurate temperature measurements with this sensor can be challenging. Consider it more as a reference tool than a precise measurement device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To read the Raspberry Pi Pico internal temperature sensor using Arduino IDE, you can use the analogReadTemp()<\/span> function that returns the temperature in Celsius degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use the following code to test it. This code prints the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees to the Serial Monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n View raw code<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s take a quick look at how the code works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended reading: Raspberry Pi Pico: Read Analog Inputs (Arduino IDE)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by creating two variables tempC<\/span>, and tempF<\/span> to hold the temperature values in Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the setup()<\/span>, initialize the Serial Monitor at a baud rate of 115200<\/p>\n\n\n\n We get the Raspberry Pi Pico internal temperature sensor in Celsius degrees by using the analogReadTemp()<\/span> function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, we convert the temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, we print the readings in the Serial Monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The readings are printed every second (1000 milliseconds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upload the code to the Raspberry Pi Pico. Don’t know how to upload code?<\/strong> Check this tutorial: Programming Raspberry Pi Pico with Arduino IDE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open the Serial Monitor at a baud rate of 115200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New temperature readings in Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees will be printed in the Serial Monitor every second.<\/p>\n\n\n The Raspberry Pi Pico comes with an internal temperature sensor to give you a general idea of the Pico’s internal temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reading the Pico’s temperature using Arduino IDE is as easy as using the analogReadTemp()<\/span> function. You may take this project further and display the temperature on an OLED display: Raspberry Pi Pico: SSD1306 OLED Display (Arduino IDE)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope you’ve found this tutorial useful.
