Set thermocouple type (K or J) on Thermo Plate inputs #33

Closed j1303 closed 1 year ago

j1303 commented 1 year ago

There is a setTYPE function available for the Thermo Plate that allows you to switch between a type K and type J thermocouple. Would it be possible for you to add this functionality to your node?

According to the documentation:

setTYPE(addr,channel,type) – sets the thermocouple type for a specific channel. Since this only applies to thermocouple inputs, an error message will be generated if the channel argument is not between 1 and 8.

type: the THERMOplate can measure temperature using both K type and J type thermocouples. Valid arguments are ‘k’ and ‘j’. Be sure and include the quotation marks.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've added the type setting feature for THERMO nodes (TC1-8) in d0678fbe4d3ed7da7b2396df68b784ea9177d638 and published to npm in version 0.2.3.
