#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <Wire.h>

// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins

//TMP36 Pin Variables

int temperaturePin = 0; //the analog pin the TMP36's Vout (sense) pin is connected to the resolution is 10 mV / degree centig rade(500 mV offset) to make negative
temperatures an option

//PhotoResistor Pin
int lightPin = 1; //the analog pin the photoresistor is connected to the photoresistor is not calibrated to any units so this is simply a raw sensor value (relative light)

//led for light sensor

int lcdRed = 3; //the pin the LED is connected to
int lcdBlue = 5; //the pin the LED is connected to
