    Description
    This is an octo (8) MAX31855 breakout board for 3.3V systems. This board can read the temperature of eight K-type thermocouples.
    As eBay forbids links, I mention that datasheets are available freely on the internet. The board is compatible with Arduino, RPi, and other microcontrollers. Sample Arduino and Raspberry Pi (Python) code can be found by searching online for "GitHub engineertype MAX31855."
    The board uses multiplexing to read up to 8 thermocouples. It takes 0.125 seconds to measure the temperature on each thermocouple, allowing all 8 to be read in 1 second. Readings are taken by setting T0, T1, and T2 to the correct value for a given thermocouple, waiting 0.125 seconds, and taking a reading.
    The board can measure temperatures from -270°C (-454°F) to +1350°C (2462°F) in 0.25°C increments. The
    included thermocouple
    can measure temperatures from -50°C (-58°F) to 700°C (1292°F).
    On the thermocouple, the red wire is positive and the green wire is negative. If the temperature goes down when you expect it to go up (or vice versa), just switch the two wires! No harm done.
    When shipped, this board is configured for 3.3V operation. However, there is a solder jumper on the board that can be changed to allow
    5V operation
    .
    Designed and manufactured in California.
