## Description

The MKR THERM Shield allows a board of the MKR family to acquire temperatures from a thermocouple of type K and a DS18Bxx digital one wire sensor. The Thermocouple is a kind of temperature sensor that offers high accuracy and a wide range of measured temperatures. Its analog nature requires specific interfacing and this shield relies on the [MAX31855](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/MAX31855_57540d4e0b8.pdf) thermocouple digital interface.

The two connectors of the MKR THERM Shield allow the usage of [Type K](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple#Type_K) thermocouples with or without a plug attached to the metal wires.

The MKR THERM Shield has its own library to read the temperature measured by the thermocouple. You may find further details and a usage example in Arduino's [Getting Started ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple#Type_K)page.
