I just finished making 25 of the new thermocouple sensor kits. You can buy them from the RRRF store for $20. The main cost for this kit comes from the AD595, a fairly expensive chip that allows you to easily monitor the temperature with a thermocouple.

I’ve been a busy bee over here at the RRRF. I’ve got 2 cool new boards that are very useful.
Thermocouple Sensor v1.0
This board provides simple, reliable, accurate, and large range (up to 1300C!) temperature sensing in a small package. It’s perfect for use with an Arduino board, or any other uC with an [...]
