What is it?

TC Logger Device is a simple thermocouple USB reader: help you to measure any process you need using the USB protocol an a simple software developed in Python. The project is able to use two thermocouple at the same time and share the data to the computer at a speed of 5Hz. (5 samples per second). The main microprocessor is the PIC18F14K50.

Why did you make it?

he project was chosen to test the USB communication, explore the interface PC-Embedded system. The system is also the basics to a new projects in which I need to measure temperatures.

What makes it special?

As it uses USB protocol, you do not need any special drivers. You can communicate with the using SCPI Commands or our own PC software. Linux, Windows and MAC are supported. Everything is open source so you can develop your own libraries and use it to automate any process.

What thermocouple does it use?

The product has up to two channels where you can connect thermocouples type K, which can measure temperatures generally from -200 to 1260°C. The thermocouples are not included in the package, but some low-quality and short wires will be added if available in order to test the equipment.
