Thermocouple Amplifier MAX31855 & Ethernet Shield

Post by Whovian »

Hello:

I would like to send temperature data through the Internet.I am using the Internet Shield which locks the spi bus as far as I know. So I'd like to know if I'd need to use a soft spi library like https://github.com/majenkotech/SoftSPI and if so how.

Any help is welcomed!

Thank you very much

The Max31855 library has its own software SPI implementation. It does not use hardware SPI and works on any pins.

Thank you! I saw that, so I understand I can use the same library "SPI.h" for the Ethernet Shield and your breakout in the same sketch.

Thank you again

That is right. There should be no conflict using them in the same sketch.
