MKR Therm Shield-board

MKR Therm Shield

The MKR Therm Shield is a great addon for MKR family boards, and allows you to connect high quality thermocouplers, and can calculate temperatures from -200 °C to +700 °C. An ideal solution to use for ovens, freezers, smokers and similar environments.

To use this shield, you can refer to the documentation of the Arduino_MKRTHERM library.

GET STARTED
