- | Without a thermistor connected, both pins should read full 3.3\_volts (5\_volts on 5\_V controllers). Connecting a thermistor at room temperature should drop this not much, but a bit.

Warming the thermistor by hand might change that slightly, perhaps by another 0.05\_V drop. Warming the thermistor with a lighter or soldering iron (be careful to not overheat it!), should drop that voltage further, down to very low readings, like 0.5\_V. | Warming the thermistor by hand might change that slightly, perhaps by another 0.05\_V drop.
