This project uses a standard (PDIP) PIC16F684 as well as a standard thermistor. It will tell the temperature between 0 and 140 farenheit. The temperature is displayed on a 3 digit, 7 segment display. This project is actually quite easy to build; the hardest part is calibrating the thermistor.[via][more]

It’s based on an AT90S2313 and a Dallas DS1621 Digital Thermometer. The temperature is displayed on a dual 7-segment display, and two buttons are used for setting parameters. A high current relay switches the heating element. The Dallas DS1621 chip interfaces to the 2313 using a I2C interface. This is a 2 wire bidirectional bus with a speed up to 400 kbps.Up to 8 DS1621 devices can be connected on the same I2C bus[more]
