This driver takes the 27 parameters of that resistor and its series resistor to determine the current 28 temperature. To hook one up, connect an analog input pin to the connection 29 between the resistor and the thermistor. Be careful to note if the thermistor 30 is connected on the high side (from analog input up to high logic level/3.3 or 31 5 volts) or low side (from analog input down to ground). The initializer takes 32 an optional high_side boolean that defaults to True and indicates if that the 33 thermistor is connected on the high side vs. low side. 34 35 * Author(s): Scott Shawcroft 36 37 Implementation Notes 38 -------------------- 39 40 **Hardware:** 41 42 * Adafruit `10K Precision Epoxy Thermistor - 3950 NTC <https://www.adafruit.com/products/372>`_ 43 (Product ID: 372) 44 45 * Adafruit `Circuit Playground Express <https://www.adafruit.com/products/3333>`_ 46 (Product ID: 3333) 47 48 **Software and Dependencies:** 49 50 * Adafruit CircuitPython firmware: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/releases 51 52 **Notes:** 53 54 #.
