[sdiy] Circuit thermometer / temperature measurement

[Roman Sowa]

Sometimes I use body thermometer, the emission kind, that you just poit 
at forehead and press a button. It has a switch for body and general 
temperature measurements, then the range is up to 100 deg.C. This has 
pretty small lens so measured surface can be reduced to the size of one 
component.

Anything that touches the component, like thermal sensor, thermocoouple 
and so on, must be much smaller in size than the component, otherwise it 
will work like a heatsink and temperature may drop dramaticaly.

FLIR also makes thermovision add-ons for iPhones, this comes much 
cheaper as compared to regular FLIR camera. I think it's called Flir One.
