Hi,
I was wondering if nRF52832 Development Kit - PCA10040 has a temperature sensor module in the development kit?
Thanks.

Update: The nrf52832 dev kit does have a built in temperature sensor & there is a temperature example in the SDK that shows you how to use the built in temperature sensor on the dev kit. This example uses the not very accurate internal temperature sensor that measures the CPU core (see link).
Previously, I thought this temperature example required an external temperature sensor, but this was wrong.
How to connect PCA10040 with the temperature sensor ?
Have you tried the SDK temperature example I mention above? This uses the built in temperature sensor on the CPU to measure the temperature. You can see the temperature values using either UART with Putty or an RTT client like J-Link RTT Viewer.
I hope I can use an external temperature sensor. Is there any example how we can connect a external sensor withPCA10040 and read the data ?
What type of communication interface does your temperature sensor have? The Nordic Thingy temperature sensor uses I2C for example. There is also a TWI sensor example that could be interesting for you (also uses I2C for communication). It is also possible to use SPI for example (SPI Master & Slave SDK examples).
