*********************************
Thermocouple Kit
#28022
*********************************

Customers have inquired about interfacing with thermocouples for quite
some time. The popularity of the thermocouple demo at the November
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Fall Conference spurred
us on to develop a handy kit to get you started with interfacing
thermocouples to BASIC Stamps. We're excited to present you with this
kit which includes the following 3 elements:

1) K-type (Chromel / Alumel)
2) J-type (Iron / Constantan)
3) T-type (Copper / Constantan).

The product link below provides you with the complete documentation and
source code examples -

    Erik,

    Did Parallax look at MAX6674/MAX6675 from Maxim? They are K type
    thermal couple to digital converters and could have been used with
    all Stamps and not just the one wire capable Stamps.

    Just a thought.

    Sure, but the Maxim products are well-documented (Tracy Allen has some
    great stuff on his site) and if you look at our DS2760 example code, it
    also takes advantage of the BS2p/BS2pe family's ability to read data
    across slots. While we do our best to create accessories that will work
    with all our products, that will not always be the case.
