Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the cold-junction compensation in this module?

The module includes a thermistor to measure the ambient temperature at the connector (cold junction). This measurement is used by the onboard amplifier to compensate for the voltage offset created by the temperature difference between the measurement tip and the connector, which is essential for accurate thermocouple readings.

Can I use this sensor with a 5V Arduino board?

Yes, the module is designed to operate from a 3.3V to 5V DC supply, making it directly compatible with standard 5V Arduino boards like the Uno. Simply connect it using the included Grove cable to a digital or analog Grove port, or wire it directly to the microcontroller's power and input pins.

What is the maximum temperature the thermocouple probe can withstand?

The K-Type thermocouple probe included with this module is rated for continuous measurement up to +600°C. The probe is insulated with glass fiber, which provides good thermal resistance and flexibility. Ensure the amplifier module itself is kept within its operating range of -40°C to +125°C.

How do I interpret the sensor's output signal?

The module outputs an analog voltage signal proportional to the measured temperature. You will need to read this voltage with an ADC pin on your microcontroller and apply a conversion formula or library (often provided by Seeed Studio Studio) to translate it into a temperature value in degrees Celsius, accounting for the cold-junction compensation.
