Interesting but I just want to point out that adding wire between a resistive sensor and board will change the reistance it is calibrated for and reduce the accuracy more than it was orginally. By how much I can't say it might be next to nothing and it might be quite substancial. The probe digital ones I have are effected by pinching the cord in a hinge, I'd expect a change of some sort. In my experience the accurites are not paticalluraly accurate to start with, I'd be hesitant to mod one.
