Using Pico Built In Temperature Sensor and Recording Results to a Text File
import machine
import utime
sensor_temp = machine.ADC(machine.ADC.CORE_TEMP)
conversion_factor = 3.3 / (65535)
file = open(“temps.txt”, “w”) #change “w” to “a” to append new data to same file
while True:
reading = sensor_temp.read_u16() * conversion_factor
temperature = 27 – (reading – 0.706)/0.001721
file.write(str(temperature) + “\n”)
file.flush()
utime.sleep(5)
