Okay, so temperature sensors are not a good choice for an IIO project. Just another two suggestions: AD5124/AD5144/AD5144A potenciometer and AD7294-2 ADC. Any of those are a good idea for IIO? P.S.: It's been hard to choose a component without any project requiments (like in a real hardware project). I'm sorry for the buzz on the mailing list. > > Jonathan >
