Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a
good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The MAX31855K does
everything for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even
one without an analog input. This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V
regulator with 10uF bypass capacitors and level shifting circuitry, all
assembled and tested. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the
thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard). Goes great with our 1m K-type
thermocouple.
New! Now uses the MAX31855K instead of the MAX6675, so it can
measure a wider temperature measurement range. Please note! the
MAX31855 is not pin compatible or drop-in code compatible with the MAX6675. We
do have an Arduino library for both chips but you'll need to adjust any
existing MAX6675 designs for the mew MAX31855. The MAX6675 has been
discontinued by Maxim.
Version 2.0 now includes ferrite beads and filter capacitor onboard for better
stability
