Strange you should mention that.
I'm presently, shock horror, working on a online purchase page (via Square), and have added a "Sensors" category.
It did occur to me last night that a breakout module is sorely needed to make the process of adding extra sensors easier.
Nothing special is required. It's simply a chain of 3 JST PH (2mm pitch) headers to accept the sensors, with a tail to plug into the AB.
Originally, on the prototype hardware, I was using JST XH, which are 2.5mm pitch.
I changed to the PH to differentiate between the heater connection, and avoid nuisance "why doesn't it work?" queries
In hindsight, if it were still XH plugs, Veroboard would be a very easy way to make up the simple breakout required. But alas, 2mm pitch headers do not drop in.
