I keep thinking I should re-visit the Die4Thing and design for simplicity of build, (so it could be a kit) ditch the hotplate controller (since most people don't use it) and add a dedicated RS232 port for data logging. If I get some time it might just happen.
Reasonable calibration can be done with a 1W SMT resistor taped ( & with thermal compound) to the front face of the sensor.
