Temperature measurement using Ardunio Mega 2560

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello

Has anyone used a Thermocouple measurement module called Termopar with a MEGA 2560.

On their Website they mention that it can be used with a Arduino Mega.

I like to read 10 temperature measurements using the MEGA 2560.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bobby

It all seems very straightforward. They show you the connections from the module to your Arduino and provide a library.

What do you mean by "read 10 temperature measurements"?

Hi,
Not the same module exactly, but there is info / how-to / code examples here:

Hi,
The OPs device,

Termopars Fritzy for UNO.

Can you tell us your electronics, programming, Arduino, hardware experience?

Thanks.. Tom... :slight_smile:

Hello,

I need to use ten of these temperature modules. There are 10 different locations that I need to
measure the temperature.

I believe that MEGA2560 can do that by using an enable signal for each of the modules. I just wanted
to know if anyone has done it and if these temperature modules are accurate and reliable.
Accuracy and reliability is very important. Cost is not a concern.

I have used MEGA2560 for RGB lighting and Digital I/Os for the past year or so.

Thanks

Hi
Have you got one of these modules and have you tried to connect and code for it?

I think this example sketch that's provided with their library will provide a sufficient reference for you to accomplish your goal:

That's for 5 modules but you can easily adapt the code to work for 10.

Thank you all for the information.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Thanks

What temp range are you measuring, and over what distance.
Thermocouples are great for extreme temps, but common DS18B20 sensors in a daisy-chain could be better/easier/cheaper/ and have a higher resolution in the nomal/human temp range.
