I've no experience with SBCs while many here have such experience. I want to build a small temperature recorder that takes input from a thermocouple probe, converts the changes to temperature (F and C), and writes the time (from start) and temperature to a removable storage device.
There are inexpensive units that do this but the maximum temperature is limited to about 150F, and I need a range to 500F. The use is recording coffee roaster outlet temperatures each second. I'll transfer the data to a desktop and plot the rate of rise of the air exiting the roasting chamber since I cannot directly measure bean temperature (and that's less accurate and meaningful in any case.) Would an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other SBC be appropriate for this? Also, suggestions for a sensor module and other components are certainly welcome. Regards, Rich
