Precision Thermocouple Amplifier (Thermocouple to Digital Converter with Linearization – SPI Interface)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/precision-thermocouple-amplifier-thermocouple-to-digital-converter-with-linearization-spi-interface/
This precision thermocouple sensor module performs cold-junction compensation and digitizes the signal from any type of thermocouple. The output data is formatted in degrees Celsius. The converter resolves temperatures to 0.0078125°C, allows readings as high as +1800°C and as low as -210°C (depending on thermocouple type), and exhibits thermocouple voltage measurement accuracy of ±0.15%. The […]
2-channel USB thermocouple sensor using STM32
https://www.electronics-lab.com/2-channel-usb-thermocouple-sensor-using-stm32/
A thermocouple is one of the most utilized sensors nowadays when measuring temperature. From the tip of your soldering iron to your gas oven, its value is undeniable, so if you are not integrating one in your projects, then you should! They are cheap and extremely useful. If you are, you probably wanted to test […]

This is a Type K Thermocouple Sensor Amplifier Arduino Shield that enables an Arduino board to acquire temperatures from a thermocouple of type K. The shield works with a single supply and takes 5V DC from the Arduino board, the output of the circuit is 0 to 4V DC for 0-degree centigrade to 400C. The […]
ATtiny85 Thermocouple Thermometer measures up to +1350°C
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny85-thermocouple-thermometer-measures-1350c/
This project describes a thermocouple thermometer, capable of measuring temperatures up to +1350°C, using just an ATtiny85 and an OLED display. by David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com It uses the ATtiny85’s analogue-to-digital converter with a x20 gain option to measure the thermocouple voltage, and the internal temperature sensor to measure the ambient temperature (shown on the […]
Reflow Master – Graphical reflow controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/reflow-master-graphical-reflow-controller/
An easy to use graphical reflow controller for your toaster oven. Source files available on github. by Unexpected Maker: Reflow Master really started out as a microcontroller-based graphing experiment… I wanted to visualise the temperature in my toaster oven when I manually reflowed my PCBs. I had a K-Type probe in my oven connected to […]
70W soldering iron controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/70w-soldering-iron-controller/
smdprutser.nl build a soldering iron controller based on PIC16F1823: In series thermocouple soldering iron have a thermocouple in series with their heating element and thus only have two connections (actually one more which is electrically connected to the tip for ESD purposes). When a voltage is applied to the two terminals the tip heats, when […]
Circuit provides cold-junction compensation
https://www.electronics-lab.com/circuit-provides-cold-junction-compensation/
Mark Maddox @ edn.com has a design idea on cold-junction compensation using AD7708. The accuracy of any circuit or system that uses a thermocouple to determine the temperature of a process is limited by the accuracy of the method used to perform cold-junction compensation. In a thermocouple measurement, two wires of dissimilar metal join together […]
