K-type Arduino Thermometer

Hi all,
Recently I had to measure the temperature in a place where ordinary temp sensors like LM35 or TMP36 wouldn't fit. And not only this but the temperature was many degrees below zero. To be precise -70c to -80c. Traditional sensors are not working below -50c so the solution I came up was to use a k-type thermocouple. In order to make arduino read the k-type thermocouple values I had to use a Thermocouple-to-Digital Converter. Thankfully Adafruit is selling MAX31855 in good price and also you can download an Arduino library from them. What more can you ask?

Step 1: Schematic

The schematic of the circuit is very simple. As you can see the Max31855 except the volt and ground has three more pins. The DO, the CS and CLK. I connected those to Arduino D5,D4 and D3 respectively. Then the only thing that was left was to connect the LCD. As you can see in the schematic LCD uses 6 pins from Arduino. For the lcd i used the LiquidCrystal library which comes with the Arduino IDE, so no need to download.

Step 2: Arduino Code

Last step was to upload the code to Arduino. Code is available here. All went smooth and temperature showed up to the lcd.
