===Version 1.0===
* It has been decided to locate the sensor in the armpit of the user as placing it in the mouth presents a choking hazard during physical activities.
* The sensor chosen is the TMP102 breakout board available from Sparkfun Electronics: [[http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9418]]
**'''Advantages'''
***Digital I/O means we can use flexible wires as opposed to more brittle thermocouple wire that can break if kinked.
***Sparkfun provides a link to pre-existing Arduino code for this sensor hosted on the Wiring website: [[http://wiring.org.co/learning/libraries/tmp102sparkfun.html]]
***Small enough to fit under a person's armpit
***Reasonably fast response rate.
**'''Disadvantages'''
***Bare PCB requires some kind of enclosure or other potection from sweat and other moisture.
