Our "Mood Ring" sensor. Warning: does not change color ! Detects from -40 to 100 °C (-40 to 212 °F). View the sensor data using our Hot software (see below). You can also measure temperature remotely with the HotIR.

Application examples

  1. Measure outside, room or body temperature
  2. Let your own body heat play your sequences or be adventurous and let the number of people in a room increase the heat.
  3. If you're interested in the wonders of your own body, check the Biosensing page too.
  4. Combine with the Humid, Air and Light sensors to create a meteorological station. Add soil Moisture sensors and Switches to control valves for watering your plants.

Software support

  1. Our SensePlay software is a very easy way to quickly map sensor data to (sequences of) sounds, images and videos using a drag & drop user interface.
  2. Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously.
  3. Our Link software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously.
  4. Our SensorX software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the data of a single sensor.
  5. 08 Dec 2010: Hot v1.1 for MacOS and Windows from source code in Max.

Application notes
  1. The upper temperature limit for this sensor is equal to the boiling point of water.
  2. Please note that this is an electrical device. Do not immerse in water.
  3. Temperature values are for the sensor itself (ie. the item sticking out from board), not for the cables, jack, circuit board, etc.
