• exp is the abbreviation of exponential, and the base number e is a natural number and equals 2.7
approximately.
Convert this formula TK=1/(ln(RT/RN)/B+1/TN) to get Kelvin temperature that minus 273.15 equals
degree Celsius.
This relation is an empirical formula. It is accurate only when the temperature and resistance are within
the effective range.

You can also display the calculated Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures on the I2C LCD1602.
Note:
• Open the 5.10_thermistor_lcd.py file located in the esp32-starter-kit-main\micropython\codes
path, or copy and paste the code into Thonny. Then, click “Run Current Script” or press F5 to execute it.
• Make sure to select the “MicroPython (ESP32).COMxx” interpreter in the bottom right corner.
• Here you need to use the library called lcd1602.py, please check if it has been uploaded to ESP32, for a detailed
tutorial refer to 1.4 Upload the Libraries (Important).
