This work was carried out as an exercise in developing open source software to interface with free hardware. In this work a software was developed to perform serial communication between a computer (PC) and the Arduino, aiming at the simultaneous recording of two temperatures measured by type K thermocouples as a function of time. The temperatures measured by the analog instruments, thermocouples type K, were converted into digital signals through the MAX6675 and sent to the PC via the Arduino serial port. At the computer these data were expressed graphically in real time through the application developed for this purpose and then stored in files compatible with spreadsheets for subsequent mathematical analysis.
