measurement while rotating

Post by inayath »

i have a plate rotating at a rpm of 500 - 600 rpm. Over this plate heated air is flowing. I am considering a dozen points over the surface of the plate . the air heated upto 100-120 degree celsius. One of my friend suggest to use Xbee with arduino to find the teperature readings.How can i use Xbee with arduino for the same. Also he said by changing the temperature sensor with pressure sensor , can get pressure also at different points.?
Is it possible to connect the temperature sensor with arduino without any amplification?. Here am using T type thermocuoples.
What will be specification for the arduino and xbee?.If amplification needed , what will be its specifications ?

Thermocouples require a thermocouple amplifier such as the MAX31855. http://www.adafruit.com/products/269
This board is designed for K-type thermocouples. You can replace the chip with a T-type version, or apply a correction factor in software.

You can connect this all to an Arduino and use an XBee or a WiFi module to transmit wirelessly back to your computer. Of you could simply collect data on an SD card for later analysis.
