Product description: SparkFun Qwiic Thermocouple Amplifier - thermocouple amplifier - MCP9600 - with screw connection - SparkFun SEN-16295
High accuracy thermocouple amplifier module that enables the built-in MCP9600 chip. It uses the I2C communication interface via the Qwiic connector. It enables temperature measurement in the range from -200 ° C to 1350 ° C , with an accuracy of 1.5 ° C and a measurement resolution of 0.0625 ° C. SparkFun Qwiic Thermocouple Amplifier not only has the ability to read the ambient temperature, but also the directly tested element. Additionally, the user can configure up to four temperature thresholds which, when exceeded, trigger an alarm. This version of the board is equipped with screw connections that allow easy connection of any thermocouple.
The product is compatible with Arduino
The manufacturer provides a detailed user guide for connecting the module. There you will also find information that will allow you to program the amplifier appropriately.
The module is equipped with two Qwiic connectors and a double screw connection.
Connection of a thermocouple amplifier
The MCP9600 thermocouple amplifier module communicates via the I2C interface. It is equipped with a screw connection for connecting a thermocouple and two alternatives for connecting to the main module (e.g. with Arduino ) - Qwiic and solder pads.
- GND - the ground of the system
- 3V3 - power pin
- SDA - data line of the I2C bus
- SCL - clock line of the I2C bus
- ALT1 - ALT4 - alert pins
