 ==== Check Supply Voltage ====
-Easiest way to do this is to disconnect the thermistor and measure voltage between both pins. With no thermistor connected, it should be full supply voltage, 3.3\_or 5\_volts depending on the controller.

 ==== Check Thermistor Wiring ====
-This measurement is simple, too. Disconnect the thermistor and measure resistance between both pins. At room temperature this should be around the nominal value of the thermistor, typically 10\_kOhms or 100\_kOhms. Warming the thermistor by hand should reduce this resistance.

 Measuring the thermistor while it's plugged in gives false results.
