MAX31855 K-Type Thermocouple-to-Digital Module w/ MCU, I/O, UEXT

Description

MAX31855 K-Type Thermocouple-to-Digital Module w/ MCU, I/O, UEXT
MOD-TC-MK2-31855
K-Type thermocouple interface board with PIC16F1503, MAX31855, UEXT and 0.1" ICSP connector
The MOD-TC-MK2-31855 is a more advanced alternative to
MOD-TC
. It features a MAX31855KASA+ K-Thermocouple-to-Digital Converter, which has a wider measurement range of
-200 to +1350 °C
with
0.25 °C
resolution. More significantly, this module has a PIC16F1503 microcontroller loaded with firmware that allows easier I2C interfacing to host boards via simple UEXT connection. The firmware can be changed by connecting a PIC programmer to the board's ICSP header. The MCU's power and I/O pins are brought out to through-hole pin pads for further interface possibilities.
