There is a set of plans on Softboughs web page that describe the MSP430 day board they gave out that has an integrated temp sensor that has better properties than the onboard sensor (using I2C), however, your bigger problem is that there aren't going to be any semiconductor sensors that will work up to 200degC. That is simply too hot for most/all silicon. My company used RTD temperature sensor which is very easy to integrate to the onboard 12bit a/d. I use the TI: REF200 to generate a constant 100uA current and simply read the voltage across the RTD. This works very well. The softbough design can be found on Softboughs web page under p/n: D413 http://softbaugh.com/ProductPage.cfm?strPartNo=D413 The sensor they use is here: http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tmp100.html Which only goes to 125Deg C We chose the RTD because of span and accuracy (can go from -200C to whatever w/ very linear response). However, a thermocouple would work and be much cheaper. There are numerous thermocouple notes online. Enjoy! -Mark

I would also appreciate any pointers/help in setting it up properly. I am starting a project to develop something similar to a cooking oven/range control panel, and any help will be greatly appreciated.
