Will a TMP1101_0 work as a stand alone or does it have to have a hub. I have Artisan software I want to go into via USB. Can I connect the TMP1101_0 directly into USB?
The TMP1101_0 needs a VINT Hub to plug into so it can connect to your computer via USB. If you want a single board that goes direct to USB, you can still get the 1048 - PhidgetTemperatureSensor 4-Input, but it's more cost effective to get the newer thermocouple board and a VINT Hub.
