Due to the stickers, I don’t see anything with MX on it, but I presume you mean the ROM. It has 28655-01 and V5.00 on it. The other model number is 26889-81, the -x1 kind of implies that it’s TSIP, and from sniffing the GPS traffic in a prior exercise, I can confirm that it is. > On Jan 16,

Perrier, Google finds a Siemens NI1000 sensor that follows the nickel curve. Nickel is popular in industrial control for cost, but not as accurate as platinum. Converting the platinum curve to accurate temperatures requires a second order equation, but has been done with 0.1% analog converters.

2017-01-16 Thread Perry Sandeen via time-nuts
List, A while back there was much discussion about temperature sensors. One simple inexpensive one to consider would be the ZNI1000Temperature sensor. It's 1K ohms at 0C and it replicates the temperature curve of the Pt 1K ohm sensors. It's about $3 from Digi-Key.  FWIW YMMY Regards, Perrier

I did see that one, but I am hoping I can procure something that isn't from an overseas surplus scrapper. If I can't find anything else, then I guess it's my only choice. Unfortunately, the Heol folks don't have anything to offer here either. It's not a WNRO problem, as the week and date are
