anyone hints on good temperature meters get swamped by devices these day's sofar i assume most of are generic and the type of probe you plugin usaly decides max temp like "K : 1300C " since even cheap ones get advertised with win/xp logging stuff wonderd if any linux user here used them :>
<nmz787_>
seems like something that would depend on your application
<soil-d>
probably ceramic/porttery and melting furnace
<nmz787_>
I'd think most of those devices would be fine if you didn't need high sensitivity, re-calibrated yourself once in a while, didn't need high sample rate
<soil-d>
so 1000-1300C
<soil-d>
for pottery it's long time like 10-20 hours
<nmz787_>
so I guess you need to know how fast the heater could increase the temp
<nmz787_>
and make sure that time is around the sample time for the sensor
<soil-d>
but no just basic measurements no need for super realtime spot measurements
<nmz787_>
otherwise your control scheme will be laggy
<nmz787_>
though maybe some temperature ripple is OK within that temp ramp ability
<soil-d>
ah like pid controll method
<nmz787_>
yeah
<soil-d>
it's not a neccesity all the logging i just wanted a hand held device but since even cheap already boast about it just wondering if one played with cheaper ones and linux or just to ignore those and even try to opt for without computer stuff
<soil-d>
since it's in shed wellaway from any pc for time being
<Sync_>
what are you trying to do?
<Sync_>
most of them will do fine
JewFro297 has left #homecmos ["Leaving"]
<soil-d>
first fire some potery if that works some cruicbles then some metal probabl alu /silver sub 1000C metals before moving on
<Sync_>
then just take every type k thing and it works
