A complete description of the DIY FeatherFlame thermocouple datalogging system, including info on field deployment and rate of spread calculations.

DIY solutions are only viable if their performance is comparable to commercial systems. This paper compares Arduino against a CR1000 with K-type thermocouples.

Get a daily update on what the National Weather Service expects fire weather to look like over the course of the afternoon in eastern Montana and western North Dakota.

6-channel Arduino-based in-field thermocouple datalogger.

Identify peaks in raw thermocouple data files and pull out heating curves.

1m equilateral triangles to hold FeatherFlame thermocouple sensors.

Program the Feather M0 datalogger via Arduino IDE to read and record 1-6 thermocouple probes.

Thermocouples cool slowly after the flame front passes. This is an artefact of heat release from the thermocouple itself, not a measure of residence time.
