Thks for the info, esp to BeeBop for the various links!
From an uC implementation perspective, it sure seems the LM35 is easier than the thermistor. I actually had a good read of Nigel's tutorial before my first posting (must say it is a very well-written article for beginners like myself!), and to hv a good measurement, I would need to hv a good ref voltage.
Does anyone know where I can find probes bases on LM35/34s? I am curious to see how widely available they are.
Thks!
