Purpose of the Project:
The purpose of this assignment was to get us familiar with converting raw data to Kelvin, and then converting Kelvin to Celsius. This project was also preparing us for future assignments, such as taking reading like temperature, moisture and wind speed from the greenhouse.

Procedure:
We breadboarded first to make sure we could get a reading in the serial monitor. Then we adjusted the potentiometer to full to make sure the reading stayed the same. Then we wrote a sketch to convert the raw reading to Kelvin, and then converted Kelvin to Celsius.
