BBQ Monitor Project With A Twist - Using the RTD PT100 Temp Sensors with Uno

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to integrate a PT100 thermo sensor into an arduino uno. Is it possible to do without adding another shield? Why wouldn't you be able to just plug the probe wires directly into the Uno?

Any help is appreciated. I decided on going with the PT100 due to their reliability and accuracy, although i am open to suggestions for other types of probes that can handle up to 600F in a grill.

Did you try entering "PT100" in the search field on top of this page?
Leo..

Let me rephrase the question since I decided to use the ds18b20's and some k thermocouples. Are there any good temperature balancing algorithms that provide a more linear approach to determining the temp as opposed to jumping around all over the place?

I won't ask why you would want to use both, but the DS18B20 is probably not a good choice, as it is good for a maximum of only 125C. I imagine a K-type would be fine.
