Project Description

The temperature sensor is an analog sensor that uses a thermistor and a series of op-amps to turn on three different LEDs at different temperature thresholds depending on ambient temperature conditions.  This project was created as the final project for my ECE1240 class however, besides minimal circuit debugging, the design, construction, and overall execution of the circuit is entirely my idea.
