   *They work at any voltage (digital sensors require 3 or 5V logic). ​   *They work at any voltage (digital sensors require 3 or 5V logic). ​
   *Compared to a thermocouple,​ they don't require an amplifier to read the minute voltages - you can use any microcontroller to read a thermistor. ​   *Compared to a thermocouple,​ they don't require an amplifier to read the minute voltages - you can use any microcontroller to read a thermistor. ​
-  *They can also be incredibly accurate for the price. For example, the 10K 1% thermistor in the shop is good for measuring with ±0.1°C accuracy! (Assuming you have an accurate enough analog converter)+  *They can also be incredibly accurate for the price.
