16 16  In the following section, how the sensor module is connected will be covered. The connector for the sensor module is a [[High-Density d'sub-44>>https://www.te.com/en/product-2311770-1.html]] which is directly solderen onto the circuit board. The plug needed for this system is the [[204517-3>>doc:Sandbox.TestPage3]], which uses crimps instead of solder cups which is common for the dsub connectors

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.
