CircuitPython driver for the MAX31855 Thermocouple Amplifier Breakout

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31855

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31855

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31855

Usage Example

Of course, you must import the library to use it:

import adafruit_max31855

You also need to create an SPI interface object, and a pin object for the chip select pin. You can use any pin for the CS, but we use D5 here:

from digitalio import DigitalInOut
import board

spi = board.SPI()
cs = DigitalInOut(board.D5)

Next, just create the sensor object:

sensor = adafruit_max31855.MAX31855(spi, cs)

And you can start making measurements:

print(sensor.temperature)

The temperature is read in degrees Celsius (°C). You have to convert it to other units yourself, if you need it.
