High-Temperature thermometer - any ideas?

[Luciano]

Luciano, thanks for the info, but where's the fun in that?

The fun? The Christmas cookies won't be postponed to 2008 or 2009!

Luciano, for reference, you can copy the link to the number in the dark blue bar of the thread to link straight to a specific post. For instance, in your example, use this:

And you'll see that the 13 is the number corresponding to the post you referenced.


And for what it's worth, most toaster ovens are too inconsistent for anything but very small boards, if you have any concern whatsoever about overheating your components. The temperature at various positions in the oven varies a huge amount. You'll find that components by the door will have not flowed yet, but components in the middle are getting fried. A small fan to slowly move the air around will greatly improve it.

Hi,

This thread is about a thermometer for an oven.
No SMD involved, just cookies and chickens!

In the Circuit Cellar article they use an AD595 monolithic
thermocouple amplifier which could be used for this project.

Best regards,
