This is used to show an accurate temperatureįor lower temperatures so you can get a feel for how the thermocouple isĪrduino Library for MAX6675 and DS18B20 MAX6675 Arduino Library The schematic below shows connection for the MAX6675 breakout board and also I just like to see a comparison of what is going on. The optional parts above allow you to see how well the thermocouple operatesĪt ambient temperature. The project is powered from the USB port.
