Thanks to the efforts of danzima , the Experimenting with Thermal Switches kit has arrived this week which means time to get moving on the challenge....en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/experimenting-with-thermal-switches/b/challenge-blog/posts/blog-2-torturing-thermal-switches-unboxing-initial-characterisation-experimental-refinementsThu, 03 Feb 2022 13:30:20 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:c5196c11-6f01-4303-b240-7546f588c352BigG0<p>Wow this is a great blog. I recall trying out some thermal switches for some design idea I had a good few years ago but I had not fully evaluated what hysteresis value I needed before testing. I chose badly and the thermal switch kept triggering once the temperature threshold had been reached. I learnt the hard way. So I found your chart and your analysis to be very insightful.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=22932&AppID=359&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/experimenting-with-thermal-switches/b/challenge-blog/posts/blog-2-torturing-thermal-switches-unboxing-initial-characterisation-experimental-refinementsSat, 29 Jan 2022 20:31:40 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:c5196c11-6f01-4303-b240-7546f588c352DAB0<p>Good post.</p> <p>Your testing made me wonder about the consistency of the on off temperatures over time.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=22932&AppID=359&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
