In this video I show you how to use the MAX31865 platinum thermometer module with an Arduino. I tell you some general information about the platinum-based thermometers, how they work, I demonstrate some of the principles, then I show you a simple Arduino code. This thermometer is probably the most precise and accurate one among those which I have introduced on my channel so far.

Fantastic video, explanation, and details. This helped me figure out that I was missing the dummy bytes in Line 115-116 for my firmware design. An explanation of why we need to use the dummy bytes (with reference to the SPI single-byte read diagram from the datasheet) would be an additional important detail, without which developing the firmware wouldn't be possible. Nevertheless, I was stuck on this for days and your video/code gave me the insight into the root cause. Thank you so much!

@CuriousScientist Год назад

Thanks! That's why most of the time I try to write my own code instead of using libraries so I can understand the behaviour of the devices. It takes a bit more time, and I usually have to read the datasheet 10-20 times to fully understand it, but after that, I really know what I am doing. I am glad to hear that my in-depth explanation helped you to fix your firmware!

@parthmaheshwari3673 Год назад

@@CuriousScientist Ah yes same here. I work with MATLAB/Simulink to design firmware so need to know the datasheet very well. Takes a lot of understanding and background knowledge but it's so worth it. In my free time I'm currently trying to design firmware to program a OLED display for a personal project. Do you have any plans to make a similar video explaining the details of OLED registers? Might be of interest to embedded developers who don't want to or cannot use libraries as it is something that's a missing resource. If you are ever looking for ideas for videos, another thing could be picking a sensor and explaining its datasheet in detail. Address registers, data registers, timing diagrams, MSB/LSB, etc. I was planning to do this for an I2C and a SPI sensor. I think it would be much appreciated by the embedded community as the heavy usage of libraries has resulted in all the details being ignored. Would love to know your thoughts too!

@CuriousScientist Год назад

I have several videos where I wrote "raw code" for certain sensors just by following their datasheet. Mostly temperature sensors, but I have my own code for the HX711 module as well. Also, I think it is safe to say that I have developed the so far best Arduino library for the ADS1256 24-bit AD converter. I made a dedicated page for it on my website, and I have tons of videos on this specific AD converter. I even developed my own PCB for this AD converter. My library and videos on this device cover all the topics you mentioned: timing diagrams, registers, MSB/LSB...etc. Maybe a similar project I have done is based on the TCD1304 linear CCD. But that is not a published code, but it is a step-by-step tutorial on how to write a code. It is also written for STM32 HAL instead of Arduino. On the other hand, I am probably not the best person to develop libraries. I am not a software developer, I just do these things out of my own interest and for my own fun. I have so many other topics where I am much more experienced and knowledgeable, so I would rather spend time with those things. OLED registers are pretty far from my area of expertise.

@gilangardiansyah3711 3 года назад

I beg you to help me, why is the temperature reading always -242? the connection between the RTD and the max31865 module is just plugged in or soldered?

@CuriousScientist 3 года назад

I don't know how many more RU-vid accounts you will use for asking the same question. Now I assembled the same circuit again, used the same code and I am getting proper temperatures. Did you follow the schematics and the code properly? As I said earlier, if you get -242, it means that the Rt (resistance) was zero. Which also means that something might have gone wrong in the readRegister function. I suspect that there's no communication between the module and the Arduino, so it receives zeroes.

@eng1897 3 года назад

thank you so much ,, excuse me I have a question do RTD need special wire?? or just wire ordinary??

@CuriousScientist 3 года назад

Hi and you are welcome! I don't exactly understand the question. The specific Pt100 probe I used came with the wire as well. But if you have a Pt100 probe somewhere laying around without any cables, technically you can use any wires. Thank to the method how the module measures the resistance change of the Pt100 probe, the resistance of the wires are cancelled out. Nevertheless, I recommend using some good quality wires, just to be sure.

@moazmousad2938 7 месяцев назад

Does the sensor need calibration or just programming ?

@CuriousScientist 7 месяцев назад

If you accept the factory calibration, then just use my code, and that's all. It is good enough for everyday use.

@ezz6928 Год назад

first of all thank you so much for this incredible work you're doing! I would really appreciate if you could take a look at this problem: I have the same components but I use a different board: Board: NUCLEO-F767ZZI + MAX31865 + PT100 (4 wires) here is the code I wrote based on your video: #include "mbed.h" #include #include #include SPI spi(PB_5, PB_4, PB_3,PA_4); DigitalOut cs(PA_4); double resistance; uint8_t reg1, reg2; // reg1 holds MSB, reg2 holds LSB for RTD uint16_t fullreg; // fullreg holds the combined reg1 and reg2 double temperature; // Variables and parameters for the R - T conversion double Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Rt; double RTDa = 3.9083e-3; double RTDb = -5.775e-7; double rpoly = 0; int main() { while (true) { //spi.lock(); spi.format(8, 1); spi.frequency(1000000); cs = 0; spi.write(0x80); // 80h = 128 - config register spi.write(0xA0); // B0h = 10100000bias ON, 1-shot, start 1-shot, rest are 0 cs = 1; cs = 0; spi.write(1); // we want to read the first register reg1 = spi.write(0xFF); // dummy data: read part 1 of the first register reg2 = spi.write(0xFF); // dummy data: read part 2 of the first register cs = 1; // combinate reg1 and reg2 fullreg = reg1; // read MSB fullreg = 1; // shift D0 out resistance = fullreg; // pass the value to the resistance cs = 0; spi.write(0x80); // 80h = 128 spi.write(144); // 144 = 10010000 //spi.unlock(); cs = 1; printf("Temp=%f ", resistance); } } At first I only want to read the RTD resistance (ADC CODE) measured by MAX31865. However, I’m getting a value of 27300, where it should be around 8900 based on table 9 (source: MAX31865 datasheet). Which means my temperature values after the conversion will surely be false as well. do you have any ideas about this? best regards, ezz

@ezz6928 Год назад

I just solved the problem by changing this line " spi.write(144);" to " spi.write(160);" 160 = 10100000, which matches my 4-wire config but did you actually use 144 and not 176 = 10110000?

@@CuriousScientist I plan to make a temperature sensor with CU and NI, because it is very easy to get at my place, and I plan to use the RTD principle, but after I studied the resistance of CU and NI it is very small than platinum, so can I use the RTD principle to That?

@CuriousScientist 7 месяцев назад

No, you can not use RTD. At least not in an easy way. Why don't you just buy a thermocouple? They are dirt cheap. Or if you must go with the two wires, since they are dissimilar metals, they will act as a thermocouple and you can use them as thermocouples. However, you will need to calibrate it somehow. I am not sure if you can find a lookup table for them. Type T thermocouple is close to it, but it is not the same. It is not pure Cu and pure Ni. It is Cu and Cu+Ni (constantan).

Hi. I want to use 6 pt100 3 wire all together. What should I do further? Can you please help in coding and connecting circuits

@CuriousScientist 3 года назад

Hi! Since it is a standard SPI circuit, you just connect all of them to the same MOSI, MISO and SCLK pins and assign separate CS pins for each one of the 6 Pt100 units. Then, whenever you pull one of the CS pins low, the corresponding unit will start to communicate with the microcontroller. After the reading is finished, you pull the CS high and select another Pt100 unit by pulling its CS low. You can do this in a loop, store the values in an array and just iterate through the 6 pins and array items. I hope this helps.

My Question is : Suppose you have connected TWO MAX31865 Chip and ONE LCD 16X2 , to ATMEGA328P. These devices can share few common ATMEGA328 pins like MISO, MOSI, CS, SCK etc etc 1. MAX31865 pins (10, 11, 12, 13 ) 2. MAX31865 pins (10, 11, 12, 13 ) ???? 3. MISO/rs=12, MOSI/en=11, d4=5, d5=4, d6=3, d7=2; How do we will allocate pins to different devices ??

@CuriousScientist 2 года назад

Hi! You just need to follow the rules of SPI. MISO, MOSI, SCK is shared and each chip has its own CS (chip select) pin. Then you just select one of the chips by reaching out to it via its CS pin. The LCD cannot use these pins as typically they are sold with a presoldered i2c board. The 16x2 LCD would use the SDA (A4) and SCL (A5) on an Arduino Uno/Nano.

The hardware I'm using consists of two Adafruit MAX31865 amplifiers, a Data Logger Shield (equipped with an RTC and an SD card module), and a 0.96-inch OLED display. The OLED display doesn't function, so I replaced it with a 16x2 character LCD display.

You can't even compare them. Pt100 is a much more superior thermometer by design. Better precision, better temperature range, better response time...etc. DS18B20 is a semiconductor-based thermometer.
