If anybody can help me because I could not understand how some people manage to make it work!!! I am simply connecting the MAX31855 board from Adafruit to the Arduino UNO, nothing complicated, and try to take temperature measurments from a K-type thermocouple and transfer them to Labview. I have tried using Nathan's library but with no results. When I just run Get TC Data Only.vi the mearuments are crazy (~700), or are flactuating like crazy. When I try to use the example program the 1st LED-Error lights up and the measurements are crazy again. Also Labview asks me to connect the MAX31855 block to CS, which I do in order to run it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if someone can help me, I am a beginner in Labview and have managed to understand how it works but this is a bit over my skills to fully understand. Thank you!

Hi nms28
Can you post your VIs?
Either that or you need to post specific questions to get better help.

Basically my setup is really simple for the moment. I connect the MAX31855 Adafruit board to the Arduino Uno and I want to take measurements using Labview. I don't have a specific VI I have been trying the ones posted on this forum but with no luck. I don't understand how some people managed to make them work. Is there a trick to it as it uses a custom firmware? Thank you for your time!

Which one did you try to use? What error are you getting?
The latest one that I posted is in Post 81.

Tried to run the max31855.vi alone, didnt notice the whole library sorry. Got it Thanks!
Quick question: This max31855 you gave would be the where I should collect the temperature from thermocouple right? And it wonly works for 1 arduino right?
