Thermistor
Example Schematic:

This is a simple voltage divider circuit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider).

Example Code:
Here's the open office spreadsheet
(https://playground.arduino.cc/uploads/ComponentLib/10kThermistorTable.zip) used to calculate the
values.

#include <avr/pgmspace.h>

int led_state;
unsigned long time;

#define THERM_PIN   0  // 10ktherm & 10k resistor as divider.
