Finisher's Prize - Duratool 129 PCS tool set

rsjawale24 — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 15:45:39 GMT

Today I received a package from element14. The box contained finisher's prize for the Experimenting with Thermistors challenge - A duratool 129 PCS tool set.

I'm thankful to Molex and e14 for organizing the contest and providing prizes.

One can never have enough tools. The tool set consists of useful tools as shown in pictures below

Thermistors Tutorial by Adafruit

ntewinkel — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 19:37:29 GMT

Hi All,

I thought I'd share with you this excellent tutorial by Adafruit.

https://learn.adafruit.com/thermistor/using-a-thermistor

I found it very helpful in terms of better understanding all the basics of using a thermistor, but more importantly (for me anyway) they do a really good job of explaining and simplifying the equations both in terms of calculating the resistance, but also in terms of converting the resistance to a temperature using the Steinhart-hart equation. Plus I like the clear examples and explanations that go with it.

They make their code available with MIT license, and simply ask that you give them credit and consider buying their hardware once in a while (you can buy Adafruit hardware via the element14 / Newark / Farnell stores).

I hope everyone is enjoying the experimenting!

All the best,
-Nico

Received the kit for thermistors challenge

rsjawale24 — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 06:49:13 GMT

I received the kit of 10 thermistors along with a nice enclosure box for the Experimenting with thermistors challenge. Thanks to the entire e14 team and molex for sponsoring the contest.

Can't wait to experiment and build projects with thermistors.

Wishing best of luck to the other selected challenegers! :D

Element14 Logistics team is the best!
