Pt100 rtd sensor with Max3165 and nodemcu givin random value

the sensor gives proper values when in use arduino uno.
but using nodemcu it gives 1 correct result then 3 incorrect values
This is the code i have used

i have connected jumper wire for 3 wire rtd sensor on max31865

Connection

max31865 nodemcu
vin 3.3
gnd gnd
3v3 nc
clk d5
sdo d6
sdi d7
cs d8
drdy nc
Code: Select all#include <SPI.h>

Hi,


Try to change the CS pin to another. Instead of using pin 15 (D8), try anoter, ie: 4 (D2) or 2 (D4). I think that will get you out. With the pin selection you have for the other pins, the hardware SPI will also work for the ESP8266.

Geir.

Hi sharadregoti15,

did this solve your Problems?

Could you please share your Code?
I´m trying to find a working solution to connect 2 PT1000 Sensors via MAX31865-Shields.

Regards,
Robothaler

Hi guys!

(sorry for not presenting, but not the time at this moment :mrgreen: )

I had exactly the same issue with the strict same wiring (lol). Moving CS from D8 to D2 solved it! I think we both used a deprecated definition for pinout without RX2/TX2

Thanks for the help!
