I know in the past it was a no-no to plug a Thermoworks Dot probe into a Fireboard. Thermistor (Thermoworks) versus RTD (Fireboard).
I pulled out my Fireboard to charge up for a session this weekend and noticed they have added the ability to select what type of probe is connected to each input. They also provide an offset to better calibrate.
Ironically, one of my Thermoworks Dots went on the blink... So, I changed input 6 on the Fireboard to 100K Thermistor and plugged the Dot probe in. Temperature reading looked close.
So, I filled a glass with cold water, stuck in a Thermopop as reference and measured the Dot probe plugged into the Fireboard. It was off by -5.5 degrees. I entered that into the Calibration field. I then poured very hot water into a glass and did the same test - both measured the temp +/- .5 degrees and have been tracking as the water cools down.
So, if you have a Fireboard and some Thermoworks probes - it looks like you can connect the probes.
Nice, I now have 5 probes - 3 from Fireboard, 2 from Thermoworks.
Hey Fireboard people - many thanks in adding this via firmware update!
