Question by dewable2001: Where is the sensor for my cars thermometer located?
2006 Chevy Malibu w/ an electronic thermometer built in to the dash. Wondering where the sensor is located.
Best answer:
Answer by Bob
It should be located near the front grille area or the front bumper area where it will pick up the ambient temperature while you are driving

Question by : How to keep an outdoor electronic thermometer sensor dry?
My Oregon Scientific outdoor electronic thermometer sensor stops working when wet. I’ve tried to keep it dry in zip-lock bags and Tupperware, but moisture always seeps in.
Any ideas?

I vacuum seal mine, I then throw it in the pool and can read the pool temp from inside the house.

This should be the first project on YouTube that is based on the new NXT Temperature Sensor (9749). The reading range of this “giant” thermometer was intentionally limited from -15 to 60oC to facilitate the design of this construction. However, the actual reading range of the digital NXT Temperature Sensor is much wider (from -20 to 120oC or from -4 to 248oF). Reading resolution is one decimal point (eg 24.4 degrees). The new Temperature Sensor has a long metal tip (about 64mm). The total sensor tip length, including the plastic “nose”, is about 77mm. The difference with the rest common sensors (such as lignt, US, sound etc.) is that cabling is fixed, meaning that there is no connector socket at the back of the sensor. Cable length is about 51cm. Programmed on the new NXT-G 2.0 (with Data Logging), while the NXT Brick firmware was upgraded to V1.26 (instead of 1.05). web.mac.com

To passionate chefs, cooking is an art. Knowing exactly when a cut of meat is cooked to perfection requires knowing your meat and your grill. But with a little bit of technology, we can build a digital meat thermometer, and use digital signal processing techniques to get a much faster response. This video explains how we can use the predictably slow heat transfer inside the temperature probe to mathematically model the sensor, and ultimately get a much faster response, with a little bit microcontroller computing power!
