Testing the Thermocouple and LCD

My parts came in the other day, but I was a bit delayed. The LCD display had two rows of 16 pins. That is twice what is listed on the data sheet and what is shown in the pictures and tutorials. Adafruit doesn't really offer phone support, but they are quick to respond to emails. They informed me that both rows of pins are identical so I could use either set. So I soldered and wired everything up. They even have a pre-written sketch for this configuration. It all worked out great and now I am ready to mount the thermocouple and thermocouple card in the roaster. The thermocouple card is much smaller than I thought it would be. That is really quite a nice feature and will make it easy to mount.

About Me

I started making knives when I was thirteen years old (over twenty years ago now). Since then I have made a few hundred knives for friends and family. Most of them I have no photos of. However here are a few that I did manage to get pictures taken of before they left my possession. Since I was about fifteen or sixteen years old, I have been marking my blades with my initials of "DVW".
