Can anyone help me in setting up thermocouple with mkr wif 1010

Can anyone help me in setting up thermocouple with mkr wif 1010. I wan't to know how to connect thermocouple with mkr wifi 1010 board.

Thermocouples need a front end - it's not simple to measure them, and the MKR ADC will not do. Here are examples using Analog ICs: https://www.analog.com/en/resources/analog-dialogue/articles/measuring…

I have a Renesas RX23a here, a microcontroller that has the analogue circuitry on board for thermocouple exercises. Maybe use a controller like that?

You may be able to interface their thermocouple board to a MKR WiFi 1010

The Maxim chip and Arduino circuit I used is shown in this video:

It was part of this project:

Thermocouple output is proportional to the different between the 2 ends of the thermocouple wire, so you need to know the temperature at the MCU end in order to calculate the temperature at the other end. I used a Max 31855 chip to simplify the job of signal conditioning and adding a reference temperature.

Arduino use the MAX31855 on their MKR THERM shield:

It might be cheaper to buy the thermistor than a thermocouple interface board. Then you just do the voltage divider thing and plot your temperature curve. When we did the Experimenting with Thermistors Challenge, I bought the "kit". I think it set me back $16 for all 10 thermistors AND a plastic box.
