Tire temperature sensor DIY with Arduino

Hi,
I just finished this project where I build a temperature sensor for the front and rear tire and I wanted to share that with you. Herehttps://programacionsinfaltas.wordpress.com you have the link. I can help you on the way if you have problems. I am sure you will find this gadget very useful.
