miniboard returned a value of 158 for both of these temperatures.


I have used LM34DZ temp sensors a fair number of times and have found
them to be simple to use and reliable. Perhaps the problem is the input
to the
ADC. I suspect impedance mismatch or you need to condition the signal
coming from
the temp. sensor -opamp amplifier circuit between the LM34DZ and the ADC
input?
