Electrical – mdot Analog in: how to connect Grove temperature sensor

To expand on my answer in the comment above. Take your mbed out of the packaging and insert it into its' new semi-permanent home on your breadboard. Turn on your computer and connect your mbed using the USB cable which came in the box (or any other similar cable). As Rob says it'll show up as a flash drive called MBED, I've not used one on a Windows computer but I don't think you have to install any drivers (on Linux it's all ready to go out of the box).

On the mbed drive is a single html file, open this using your browser of choice and it'll take you to the mbed.org site and ask you to register (you have to register to gain access to the online compiler). The good thing about this process is it automagically attaches your mbed serial number to your registered user (you can't register without having a valid serial number at the moment).

The getting started instructions on the mbed.org site (and on the leaflet that came in the box) will walk you through downloading the compiled binary example to make LED1 flash on and off. Once you've downloaded it, copy it to the mbed drive, and press the reset button on the mbed (it's in the middle of the board) you should now have a fully functioning blinking LED.

Next have a look at the program in the online compiler and change it. Once you've got it going then you can start hooking it up to various external things. There are various instructions in the Cookbook and Notebook pages at mbed.org (including how to hook it up to a dual digit 7 segment display by me).

I would recommend you to take a look at stm32 examples (STM32CubeL0):

They have example for how to read the internal temperature sensor. They are using HAL library but you can easily backtrace the code so that you undestand what registers that are being set and in what order.
