#81199 Hi,
I am trying to communicate with Max31865 adafruit pcb with no success. I checked all pins and connections and also for confirmation I run the max31865 library with sample sketch (Arduino ide) and working fine which means that connections, pcb failures have been excluded. The esp8622 is from olimex and I am using the HSD port as per instruction manual (pins 12,13,14,15). Same I used with Arduino. The esp basic version is 3.0 alpha 69. Please find the below code that I am trying to read from register 0x00 unsuccessfully.
io(po,15,1)
spi.setup(500000,1,1)
delay 1000
io(po,15,0)
received_data = spi.hex(“00”,1)
print received_data
io(po,15,1)
delay 100
io(po,15,0)
spi.hex(“00C2”,2)
io(po,15,1)
delay 100
io(po,15,0)
received_data = spi.hex(“00”,1)
io(po,15,1)
print received_data
I always receive FF or 00. I tried with different frequencies (50000,1000000) with no success. Could you please revert what I am doing wrong?
Moreover please find working code with arduino IDE

#81458 Hi all,

I have managed to add the Max31865 as new library in source file. You need the 3 files inside the rar to add them. Moreover i used Visual studio 2017 with vMicro which has better IDE interface than Arduino. I tried first to add it as library but the results was mess. Esp8266 crashes because i think pass inside a lot of functions. In addition i found the #define(name) and the #if defined name #endif very useful. You can build each time different code without proceed with many changes.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

#81459 Sorry i forgot to inform you how you can work with this.
pt.setup(pttype,cspin,pinwire) where pttype 1=PT100 2=PT1000 cspin for example 15 and pinwire where
1=3 wires and 2= 2or 4 wires.

after setup you can call pt.temp() and read the temperature from PT sensor. Finally there is one more function in library pt.fault where it is empty string "" if there is no error in other case the string has the fault description.
example code:
pt.setup(1,15,2) 'set pt100 pin 15 as cs and 2 or 4 wire connection
let curr = "Calc" 'create variable with "Calc" text
curr = pt.temp() 'read the temp
message = pt.fault() 'read if there any fault
end
