    The LM35 puts out 10mv/°C.
    1 "Step" of 10-bit A/D is 4.88mv.
    So each "step" equals ~0.5°C

    If you use a Vref of 2.5V, you could get 0.25°C resolution.

    With an op-amp you might get down to 0.1°C res. if you don't need the full +150°C range.

    Or you could use a DS18B20. That'll get 0.0625°C.

    Good call DT! I thought the datasheet said 1mv/C.

    So what's the problem? The answer has already been given to you twice in the posts above, even if other parts of the code were wrong, if you'd take a few seconds to look over the display part of the above code, you'd find your answer, between that and the PBP manual, which does describe what you need...
