ERROR IN PID THREAD, RESTARTING #26

Open GatCode opened 5 years ago

GatCode commented 5 years ago

Hello guys, I just installed silvia-pi on my Raspberry Pi Zero W and without connecting the MAX31855K, the web interface is working perfectly. The problem is, as soon as I connect the MAX to the Raspberry (connected as you described in the image), the web interface is not available anymore and if I SSH into the Raspberry, it tells me "ERROR IN PID THREAD, RESTARTING". Can anyone help me out? Thank you!

Others here are reporting that if you ground your thermacouple then it'll cause errors.

Check out this thread. Appears a solution is to add thermal tape around the probe (still detects heat but makes it non-conductive).
