Hi Bram,

I will answer your questions no problem :

The kit version of SharpSky only supports one temperature sensor. The sensor can be plugged directly into the PCB using a three pin mini-din or can be wired to the D-type connector. However, as I say only one sensor can be fitted the firmware will detect only one probe (the SharpSky Pro unit supports two separate independent sensors).

The sensor is a DS18B20 three wire type, the wiring instructions can be found on the SharpSky kit website : www.dt-space.co.uk/SharpSky_Kit

The build instruction PDF can be downloaded from the website and sections 11 & 12 detail the temperature probe connections.

Power wise the unit will not exceed 1A at 12V even if the motor is stalled.

Cheers & clear skies,

Dave
