I have a Type K thermocouple probe lying around as well as a couple RTD thermocouple probes -- are these interchangeable/compatible with the TC4 & Arduino combo?

RTD only with some hardware and firmware changes.
Type K is a direct fit.

A terminology notice: RTD (Resistance Temperature Detectors) is not a thermocouple, different principles.
One is variable resistance, the other is a voltage generator.

Ok, thanks Renatoa. I think I'll just stick with the Type K for sake of ease and compatibility.
