====== ntcRead() ======

''ntcRead()'' returns the temperature of an NTC 3950 10kΩ sensor as an integer in 0.1℃ units.

''int ntcRead(uint8_t ch)''

===== Commands =====

^ Command ^ Arguments ^ Return Value ^ Operation ^
| ''ntcRead(ch)'' | ''uint8_t ch'' — MPINO: analog pin number; MPAINO: overall analog input channel number | ''int'' | Returns the temperature of an NTC 3950 10kΩ sensor as an integer in 0.1℃ units. |


===== Example =====

Connect an X input module to MPAINO-8A8R(T) and select **Analog Input Module → X**. Set CH0 DIP switches NTC and GND to ON, then connect the 10kΩ NTC sensor.

<code cpp>
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  const int temperature10 = ntcRead(0);  // Read the 10kΩ NTC temperature as tenths of a degree Celsius.
  Serial.print(F("Temperature: "));
  Serial.println(temperature10 / 10.0F, 1);
  delay(500);
}
</code>

===== Precautions =====

  * ''ntcRead()'' is based on an NTC 3950, 10kΩ at 25 C sensor.
  * ''ntcReadf()'' divides the ''ntcRead()'' result by ''10.0F'', so its resolution remains ''0.1 C''.
  * Connecting a sensor with a different B value, reference resistance or wiring configuration causes temperature errors.
  * On MPAINO, the temperature is incorrect unless the DIP switch is in NTC mode.
  * On MPAINO, the first call internally initializes only the corresponding analog input module.
