I'd like the RGB LED to be a bit brighter and also to be a full colour addressable pixel LED (WS2811). Currently it's only 3-bit colour and takes up 3 GPIO.
Would be great to see some expansion modules with the same form factor as the M5StamPLC. I believe a 240V power supply is coming. It would be great to have some mains 210V/220V sensor inputs to handle higher voltage sensing.
@ajb2k3 Thanks for the suggestion, but I already looked at that, and decided not to get it, as it's EOL and comes as a kit with a module I don't need.
The plate used in the video is perfect.
@mgrouch KMeter is just the thermocouple converter. The TC insulation itself can be made from plastic or silicon or it can be made from glass fabric. It can also be inside a stainless steel housing or whatever. It depends on the application.
I just did a quick search for exhaust thermosensors and there are many K-type thermocouple in different housing available. As long as they have a TC connector or open wires for mounting one by yourself you can use them with KMeter.
I strongly recommend you to read the basics about thermocouples and how they work. You may than understand, that this "plastic thing" can be and should be far away from the high temperature exhaust.
By the way: If you feel better with the MCP9600 then buy one from e.g. Adafruit and use it with its library in the Arduino environment. You controller can still be M5. As for the KMeter the MCP9600 breakout is not made to put in the exhaust as well.
It would be great to have Atom with more pins, especially something like this where it's backwards compatible with existing products and opens up opportunity for new products.
I'm really looking forward to dual band wireless too!
