This board is a remote thermocouple monitor. It is pretty much a direct implementation of App Note SBAA189 from TI. It uses a TI ADS1118 to read the thermocouple and a Particle Photon to connect via WiFi to the Internet.

The first intended use was to monitor furnances in a materials science laboratory, providing a way for researchers to check on the health of the furnance from home without having to physically go to the lab.

The fastest way to get started is to run the Particle app on your phone to claim the Photon, then flash the example app through the Web IDE. Detailed step-by-step instructions are located here. The example app updates the temperature to the SparkFun Data stream and the Particle cloud once every five minutes or so.

You can find the firmware libraries on github for the ADS1118 and for thermocouples.
