Nanoshield_Thermocouple¶
This is the Arduino software library to access the Thermocouple Nanoshield (MAX31855 IC) from Maxim Integrated.
- Source code: https://github.com/circuitar/Nanoshield_Thermocouple
- Documentation: http://nanoshield-thermocouple.readthedocs.org/
- Reference board: `Termopar Nanoshield`_ from Circuitar_.
Library features include:
- Get internal temperature.
- Get external temperature.
- Check errors (shorted to vcc, shorted to ground and open circuit).
To install, just click Download ZIP and install it using Sketch > Include Library... > Add .ZIP Library in the Arduino IDE.
