Equipment#
There are several pieces of equipment you can use for the case studies including:
ESP32 Microcontroller or equivalent
MAX6675 Thermocouple Amplifier
K-Type Thermocouple
Test tube and plunger
3D Printer (available in the experiential learning centers in the library or the prototyping lab on the 1st floor of the engineering building)
Graduated Cylinder
ESP32 Microcontroller with MAX6675 Thermocouple Amplifier and K-Type Thermocouple#
The ESP32 Microcontroller with MAX6675 Thermocouple Amplifier and K-Type Thermocouple makes it possible for you to collect temperature data from a thermocouple and send it to a computer or phone via bluetooth classic. The ESP32 is a microcontroller that can be programmed with the Arduino IDE. The MAX6675 is a thermocouple amplifier that can be used to read the voltage from a thermocouple and convert it to a temperature.
