I've got a NodeMCU V1 and a MAX31865 with a PT100 attached. When using the example arduino code, it seems to log out the correct values but with an RTD Low Threshold error like so:
RTD value: 8068
Ratio = 0.24621582
Resistance = 105.87280273
Temperature = 15.09
Fault 0x40
RTD Low Threshold
The loop will continue for a few iterations and then throw an exception, before resuming logging out of the values above
The exception reads:
--------------- CUT HERE FOR EXCEPTION DECODER ---------------
Soft WDT reset
>>>stack>>>
ctx: sys
sp: 3fffed00 end: 3fffffb0 offset: 01a0
3fffeea0: 38fe9521 00000000 3ffe8938 00000030
3fffeeb0: 401015ea 3ffe88f4 004ae1cb 40233b68
etc etc etc
The code is as follows.
#include <Adafruit_MAX31865.h>
// Use software SPI: CS, DI, DO, CLK
Adafruit_MAX31865 thermo = Adafruit_MAX31865(D4,D1,D2,D3);
//Adafruit_MAX31865 thermo = Adafruit_MAX31865(D4);
#define RREF 430.0
#define RNOMINAL 100.0
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.print("Adafruit MAX31865 PT100 Sensor Test!");
thermo.begin(MAX31865_3WIRE); // set to 2WIRE or 4WIRE as necessary
}
void loop() {
uint16_t rtd = thermo.readRTD();
Serial.print("RTD value: "); Serial.println(rtd);
float ratio = rtd;
ratio /= 32768;
Serial.print("Ratio = "); Serial.println(ratio,8);
Serial.print("Resistance = "); Serial.println(RREF*ratio,8);
Serial.print("Temperature = "); Serial.println(thermo.temperature(RNOMINAL, RREF));
// Check and print any faults
uint8_t fault = thermo.readFault();
if (fault) {
Serial.print("Fault 0x"); Serial.println(fault, HEX);
if (fault & MAX31865_FAULT_HIGHTHRESH) {
Serial.println("RTD High Threshold");
}
if (fault & MAX31865_FAULT_LOWTHRESH) {
Serial.println("RTD Low Threshold");
}
if (fault & MAX31865_FAULT_REFINLOW) {
Serial.println("REFIN- > 0.85 x Bias");
}
if (fault & MAX31865_FAULT_REFINHIGH) {
Serial.println("REFIN- < 0.85 x Bias - FORCE- open");
}
if (fault & MAX31865_FAULT_RTDINLOW) {
Serial.println("RTDIN- < 0.85 x Bias - FORCE- open");
}
if (fault & MAX31865_FAULT_OVUV) {
Serial.println("Under/Over voltage");
}
thermo.clearFault();
}
Serial.println();
delay(10000);
}
