Power Input

  • VIN - Power input can range from 3.3-5VDC.
  • 3V3 - Power output from the 3.3V on-board regulator.
  • GND - Power / logic ground.

SPI Logic

All SPI logic pins are capable of 3.3V - 5V logic which makes it a good choice for not only Arduino but also Raspberry Pi, Attiny and others.

  • SCK - This is the serial clock.
  • SDO - Serial Data Out or Master In Slave Out (MISO) for data sent from the MAX31856 chip.
  • SDI - Serial Data In / Master Out Slave In (MOSI) for data sent to the MAX31856 chip.
  • CS - Chip Select for data transmission, active low.

Signal Pins

There are also two pins available for signaling in varying installations where additional functionality is desired for example in 3D printers and CNC machines.

  • DRDY - Data Ready for situations where the MAX31856 chip processes averages that may take several processing cycles to calculate, active low.
  • FAULT - Fault signal which can be configured to trigger under varying conditions (open thermocouple, shorted thermocouple, outside of normal range... etc.), active low.
