Sorry if this is old news guys, but I finally got my temp sensor
working! But I was wondering how I can keep the value from jumping
around.

Use a smoothing algorithm such as:

SmoothValue = ( JumpyValue + K * SmoothValue ) / ( K + 1 )

where K is a smoothing constant, eg 10 or 100.  The bigger the K, the
smoother the result, but the bigger the lag.  But as temperatures don't
change very quickly, the lag does not usually matter.

Put a capacitor in parallel with the thermister. Try at least 0.1 uF. You can not use electrolytic types. (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
