Firstly thanks for a great product and excellent shipping.

I am very new to all this and have just completed Circuit number 7, however I seem to get very strange error on my TMP36 reading:-

voltage: 5.00 deg C: 449.51 deg F: 841.12
voltage: 5.00 deg C: 449.51 deg F: 841.12

voltage: 3.68 deg C: 317.68 deg F: 603.82

voltage: 3.53 deg C: 302.54 deg F: 576.57

Is this a faulty TMP36, I have checked and double checked that i have done things correctly. Can anyone advise.

Looks like it is connected properly. Since this is a Sparkfun product, you should check with their support folks.
