void loop() {
  int reading = analogRead(thermPin);
  float voltage = reading  5.0 / 1023.0; // Convert analog reading to voltage
  float temperature = (voltage - 0.5)  100.0; // Convert voltage to temperature (approximation)
  
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
thermPin = 17  # GPIO pin connected to the OUT pin of the module

while True:
    reading = GPIO.input(thermPin)
    voltage = reading  3.3 / 1023.0  # Convert digital reading to voltage
    temperature = (voltage - 0.5)  100.0  # Convert voltage to temperature (approximation)

print("Temperature: {:.2f} C".format(temperature))

time.sleep(1)  # Wait 1 second before taking the next reading
