Arduino ASX00012 - MKR Therm Shield

Arduino MKR Therm Shield

With the MKR THERM Shield, a board from the MKR family can measure temperatures from a type K thermocouple and a digital one-wire sensor DS18Bxx. The thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor that offers high accuracy and a wide range of measured temperatures. Due to its analog properties, special interfaces are required, and this shield is based on the digital interface of the MAX31855 thermocouple.

The two connections of the MKR THERM Shield allow for the use of type K thermocouples with or without connectors on the metal wires.

The MKR THERM Shield has its own library for reading the temperature measured by the thermocouple.
