New Board: Thermocouple Sensor v1.0
This new board is a cool, 'experimental' temperature sensor based on a Type K thermocouple, and the AD595 chip. It is very useful. It makes temperature measurement really easy, can easily measure up to 500C with the Arduino (up to 1300C with a bit of extra work). Read about it on the wiki.It's not an official set of RepRap electronics, but can easily be integrated with the Arduino code. This board is intended for people who are interested in doing advanced research, are fed up with thermistor problems, or just want better temperature measurement.
It's available now from the RRRF store (kit coming soon!)
