Temperature Compensation
Has anyone added a temperature compensation function yet??
Shure, why not...
Use the circuit below. No hard to find pieces , cheap and small sensor too
For the diode probe use a piece of shrink wrap tubing for waterproofing
The results for my probe are plotted on the next graph
The precision is pretty good if you make a 2 or 3 point calibration like the one on the above graph

- thank you very much, this looks very easy to make! Wikisysop
Interesting reader comments on probe design
Got this in an email, seems useful so posting here:
"I want to measure conductivity in limewater (for a marine fish tank), so I want an electrode for highly conductive solutions (around 10mS/cm).
After a bit of thought, I used two propelling pencil leads (0.7mm diameter) - I needed only a few mm exposed spaced by say 5mm. Readings after a few months are stable, so graphite leads seem ok for this application. (And to calibrate, just draw a line to make the electrode shorter!)
Clearly they're not suitable for everything, but they are readily available."
