Max6675 support? #254

Closed introisback closed 2 years ago

introisback commented 2 years ago

Hello, how can i use a max6675 thermocoupler on a RPIEasy? I see at the ESPEasy the max6675 is supported.
https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasyPluginPlayground/blob/master/_P120_Thermocouple.ino

Thx you guys for this project i love it !

Maybe better to point to a more recent iteration of the (ESPEasy) code, as this chip is now added to the support of P039, along with other thermocouple chips. See the P039 documentation

I think it will be more to do than the .ino in .py or?

unfortunately i don't know anything about programming and my english skills are lousy. an approximate instruction preferably in german would be helpful. xD

it would definitely be easier to just buy a D1mini.

Nope, it surely involves more than renaming a file. But @enesbcs is more than capable to read C++ and code Python. My link was more to provide some code examples on how to address this chip you mentioned.

Yep, a new .py plugin has to be made by someone, who has a lots of free time. Basically i would do like this:

  1. buy a max6675 for testing
  2. grab an rpieasy SPI device code for the skeleton of the new https://github.com/enesbcs/rpieasy/blob/master/_P210_MCP3008.py
  3. use some simple python code to understand how max6675 works, and code a read() function into the new plugin https://github.com/fincham/max6675-spi-python/blob/master/max6675.py
  4. test & release

@enesbcs Now you're stimulating people to learn how to write code themselves... that can't be the idea behind OpenSource... oh wait... ;)

introisback commented 2 years ago

I have a lot of free time, but my English is so bad that I can't understand complex texts. My programming skills are almost 0. I know certainly more than 98% of normal people but unfortunately some of the rules (rpieasy) already exceeds my skills - or it does not work all the rules of ESPeasy?

I look at the 2 links , thank you guys.

Hmm, "normal people" are exceptionally rare, so hard to base statistics on it ;)

The guy in the video creates a MAX6675.py -is that helpful in any way?

I hope I don't spam too much. have a nice weekend all of you

Videos might help if someone needs to disassemble a notebook, but for coding purposes, its not really useful. A test device and the 2 .py file are needed as i wrote earlier. In the next 6 month it is imaginable that i will have some time to implement it.

And what will happen in 2023? More or less time available? :)

In case i will be a millionaire in 2023 i will more time, in other cases, probably less time. :)

Support added to P039 plugin at commit https://github.com/enesbcs/rpieasy/commit/a29e53c5d56051f7eeb78eb72ccff423f76aa9d2

one sensor works perfectly, on occasion I test 2 on one device from if this works without interference I no longer report.

thank you very much , excellent work

best regards chris

Thank you for testing it!
