To test the project, as it is summer at the time of this project creation, I have placed the PCB of the project on a place of wax paper and used a refrigerator to test the code and hardware. Along with the refrigerator, I have used a Peltier unit that is placed against the TMP 36. I have made sure of the temperatures with both the fridge and the Peltier unit using a Ryobi handheld, IR thermometer.

Temperature from Inside the Fridge:

The IC socket is bare in this photo, as it is purely a representation of the testing done on the project.
