Hello Rob, Seth here. I am located in the states. There is a big fault and I am not clued in, obviously. How is F == C? I figured that there would be a part to the software, the section that displays the difference, that tells me/you the C and F reads.
Seth P.S. I am in about an 80 degree temp. right now. So, do I need to replace "reading.value" with an actual numerical value? I will keep trying.
