	69	+As shown in the figure above, the thermistor is put into a voltage divider circuit with a 4k7 ohm resistor to convert the resistance changes of the thermistor to a measurable voltage. To find the temperature of the thermistor based on the voltage measure by the analog-to-digital converter (adc), the resistance of the thermistor needs to be calculated based on the voltage from a voltage divider.
