I was wondering what i would need to do to wire this up using the LM335Z temp sensor, as i purchased the budget pack and got my hands on the LM335Z. when wired up the same as the lesson it gives me values of around 400 F and the sensor measures temp in Kelvin. i'm wondering what i would need to do to make the reading more accurate? I'm fairly new to electronics and have been doing your learn arduino lessons with the budget starter pack i purchased from you.
Thank you for your time.

The LM335 needs a resistor to set the bias current. This tutorial has the circuit and the code to convert the temperature: http://spacetinkerer.blogspot.com/2011/ ... ensor.html
