Today I walk you through how to setup and use the Max 31855 with a K-Type thermocouple that could be used as an EGT probe in a vehicle. This super simple setup is cheap and effective. You could display these values to an LCD or OLED screen in a vehicle. This is part of the larger project that I am working on my truck.
Stay tuned for more videos!
