Interfacing thermocouple with Raspberry Pi using MAX31855

Bikash Narayan Panda

Reading thermocouple data on Raspberry Pi using JAVA and Pi4J with the help of MAX31855 14 bit thermocouple to digital converter. The MAX31855 performs cold-junction compensation and digitizes the signal from a K-, J-, N-, T-, S-, R-, or E-type thermocouple. The data is output in a signed 14-bit, SPI-compatible, read-only format. This converter resolves temperatures to 0.25°C, allows readings as high as +1800°C and as low as -270°C, and exhibits thermocouple accuracy of ±2°C for temperatures ranging from -200°C to +700°C for K-type thermocouples. Check here for more details. …

Fetching data from server | Arduino/ESP8266

Arduino on ESP8266

Arduino/ESP8266: Fetching data to Server (LOCAL and Online) using WifiClient on from the ESP8266 module using Arduino IDE. The chip first came to the attention of western makers in August 2014 with the ESP-01 module, made by a third-party manufacturer, AI-Thinker. This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to a Wi-Fi network and make simple TCP/IP connections using Hayes-style commands. However, at the time there was almost no English-language documentation on the chip and the commands it accepted.The very low price and the fact that there were very few external…

mbed offline

This tutorial is around BBC Microbit and programming the microbit using MBED offline C/C++ IDE but for this, I have used Yotta command line tool provided by MBED for building the code. This lets you explore many features of the microbit which otherwise are not accessible.       Bikash Narayan PandaDeveloper, Tinkere, a proud Dad.. love to spend my available time playing with Tech!! wglabz.in
