The KY-013 Analog Temperature Sensor module can measure ambient temperature based on the resistance of the thermistor on the board.
Compatible with popular electronics platforms like Arduino and ESP32.
KY-013 SPECIFICATIONS
This module consist of a NTC thermistor, a 10 kΩ resistor, and 3 male header pins. The thermistor resistance varies according to its surrounding temperature. The value of resistance can be used to calculate the actual temperature.
| Operating Voltage | 5V |
| Temperature measurement range | -55°C to 125°C [-67°F to 257°F] |
| Measurement Accuracy | ±0.5°C |
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Connect module power line (middle) and ground (-) to 5V and GND on the Arduino respectively. Connect the module signal pin (S) to pin A0 on the Arduino.
Some KY-013 have a different pin arrangement. Please check your board before connecting.

KY-013 ARDUINO CODE
The following Arduino Sketch will derive the temperature from the thermistor using the Steinhart-Hart equation. The code will return temperature in Celcius, uncomment line 17 to get temperature in farenheit
