When inspecting electronic circuits, most measurements are displayed visually. This tool provides audible feedback to augment your analyses.
For this article, we are only concerned with one type of sensor that can measure temperature. This sensor is called a thermistor.

Logic analysers are a very important tool when working with digital systems as they record the logic levels of multiple points simultaneously over a period of time. But these devices are no longer restricted to professionals and the rich because HobbyComponents has a great USB analyser that sells for only £9!
