The Pi-Plates THERMOplate is an affordable and stackable temperature measurement plate designed exclusively for the popular Raspberry Pi single board computer. Each THERMOplate can support up to eight type K or type J thermocouples and four DS18B20 digital temperature sensors for a total of twelve inputs. And like all of our products, THERMOplates can be stacked and mixed with the rest of the Pi-Plates family. In addition, with the THERMOplate we are using plugable terminal blocks to eliminate the hassle of having to disassemble a stack of plates to add or remove signal wires. See below for detailed features for the THERMOplate.
