Description: The tiny temperature recorder is directly built on the eZ430-F2013 USB kit with only a capacitor, a diode, and a resistor added. The device can measure temperature with a resolution better than 0.02C. A tiny capacitor replaces the bulky battery to power the system. A single instantaneous charge allows the device to record temperature for up to 60 hours. The data is stored in flash memory and is read back to a PC through the USB port built on the kit. It is simple and low-cost but effective.
