MAX6675 Type-K thermocouple module - digital temperature converter (SPI) incl. sensor
This MAX6675 temperature measurement module enables precise temperature measurement via a type-K thermocouple. The MAX6675 takes over the cold junction compensation and converts the thermocouple signal into a digital measured value that can be easily read out via SPI (3-Wire / Serial Interface), e.g. with Arduino or other microcontrollers. Ideal for DIY temperature measurements, hot air/heating plate projects, 3D printing conversions and general high-temperature measurement tasks (within the scope of the sensor).
