Did I read somewhere that the PyBoard has a temperature sensor already that will get room (not core) temperature?

If so, please point me to the docs for Python access.

Thanks!

The pyboard itself only has the read_core_temp() method of the ADCAll class. The processor generates fairly little heat in most circumstances, but the core temp will usually be a bit higher than ambient temp in most circumstances.
You may have seen some discussion of the MPU9150 IMU or the BMP180 barometric altimeter drivers, both of these chips have temperature sensors, but there aren't any other temperature sensors on the basic pyboard.

That's what I thought. I'm using a TMP102 which works great but was wondering if I could get rid of it.

Thanks!
