I am attempting to adapt a coffee roaster so that the temperature data is passed to my computer. I am planning to use a phidgets hub and a phidgets thermocouple board. My only question is whether all usb cable(mini to normal) are the same or if I need the one specified in the phidgets website which “includes a common mode choke/filter for noise reduction”?
Personally, I would follow the manufacturer’s recommendation just to make it safer and avoid bad surprises.
Let me know how it goes.
