Owen,

What hardware is Mathematica running on? The sensor is analog only so you need an analog to digital converter or a different temperature device but everything depends on your hardware.

Hello again,

As Neil was saying, the temperature sensor you have is analog, and so there is no way to connect it directly to the pins on the Pi and read the analog voltage of the sensor. However you can use a simple ADC chip to convert the analog voltage into a digital stream usable by the Pi. For example, this is an ADC chip that can send the digital data back to the Pi + Wolfram Engine over I2C : https://www.adafruit.com/product/1083

Another simple option would just be to connect the TMP36 to an Arduino on one of the analog pins (say A0 for example), and then connect the Arduino to the Raspberry Pi over USB. Then in Mathematica you could read from the TMP36 sensor like so:

DeviceOpen["Arduino","/dev/ttyAMA0"]
( DeviceRead["Arduino","A0"] - Quantity[0.5,"Volts"] ) / (Quantity[10,"Millivolts"] / Quantity[1,"DegreesCelsius"] )

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Owen,

What kind of temperature sensor are you interested in reading from? We also support interfacing with I2C devices : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/device/I2C.html

Thanks,

Ian
