Max6675 Thermocouple project



  • Hi, just started to explore the MySensors possibilities. The first project I'm building is a High temperature MAX6675 Thermocouple which send data to the MQTT broker.

    So I ordered some parts and started building the gateway with an arduino uno and Ethernet shield. Than connected the Max6675 and gave it a go!

    Although the set-up seems to be quit simple I can not get any temperature read from the sensor?
    If I connect it like some of the samples I found I end up with this:

    0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=R-NGA--,VER=2.1.1

    0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:STP

    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    Deg C = nan	 Deg F = nan
    
    

    I used this example for the wiring: link to max6675-temp-module-wiring

    Also had a look at the post about the max6675 here on the forum. After trying several combinations I run out of ideas. So maybe one of you can point me in the right direction to get this finally working 🙂

    This is the sketch I ended up after changing it several times.

     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * REVISION HISTORY
     * Version 1.0 - Henrik Ekblad
     *
     * DESCRIPTION
     * The W5100 MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker.
     * The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network
     *
     * LED purposes:
     * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
     * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
     * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
     * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
     *
     * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
     * nRF24L01+  ESP8266
     * VCC        VCC
     * CE         GPIO4
     * CSN/CS     GPIO15
     * SCK        GPIO14
     * MISO       GPIO12
     * MOSI       GPIO13
     *
     * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
     * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
     * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
     * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
     * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
     * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
     * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
     * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
     *
      * Inclusion mode button:
     * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
     *
     * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
     *
     * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

  • Any ideas on this any one? How to troubleshoot this? Would be nice to get this working. Thanks
