This is a very simple sensor to use, and if your microcontroller has analog input capability, you'll be ready to go really fast!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with any K type thermocouple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill not work with any other kind of thermocouple other than K type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to use analog output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemp range with 5V power: -250°C to +750°C output (0 to 5VDC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemp range with 3.3V power: -250°C to +410°C output (0 to 3.3VDC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecomes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple), a fully assembled PCB with the AD8495 + TLVH125 precision voltage reference, and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD8495 K-type thermocouple amplifier from Analog Devices is so easy to use, Adafruit have documented the whole thing on the back of the tiny PCB. Power the board with 3-18VDC and measure the output voltage on the OUT pin. You can easily convert the voltage to temperature with the following equation: Temperature = (Vout - 1.25) \/ 0.005 V. So for example, if the voltage is 1.5VDC, the temperature is (1.5 - 1.25) \/ 0.005 = 60°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoes great with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/products\/thermocouple-type-k-glass-braid-insulated-k\"\u003e1m K-type thermocouple\u003c\/a\u003e (not included).
