# littleBits Temperature Sensor

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** LBH842 · **Brand:** [LittleBits](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/littlebits-australia) · **GTIN:** 810876020671
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/temperature-sensor.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/temperature-sensor.html.md))

The temperatures sensor responds to the temperature surrounding its probe. The higher the temperature it senses, the more signal it sends out.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $38.99 (inc GST) — $35.45 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $34.92 (exc GST) · 25+ $34.20 (exc GST)
- Special pricing may change at any time.

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Sep 03 and Sep 07.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=LBH842:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/LBH842:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The temperatures sensor responds to the temperature surrounding its probe. The higher the temperature it senses, the more signal it sends out.

**GEEK SPEAK**

The temperature sensor determines termperature via the IC that is located on top of the board. It communicates via I2C with an MCU located on the bottom of the board. The MCU gets a temperature reading in Celcius, applies a hysteresis to the reading, then converts it to farenheit if necessary. The final determined temperature is converted to a number module readable analog value. Every 50mV on the output of the bitsnap represents a single degree in either Farenheit or Celcius. Since heat will conduct through the board itself, there are slots around around the temperature sensor which provide thermal relief from board conductivity.

Not Waterproof:
littleBits are not waterproof. Please do not put the temperature sensor in your mouth to take your temperature. Plus, they taste weird so you will wish you hadn’t.
