PT100 amplifier board - redaings seems to be 30 degrees below

@c310 if all the connections are OK then unless there is some contamination on the board (e.g. condensation or soldering flux), I guess the next thing would be to replace the MAX31865 chip. But if the second channel is free, just use that.

@dc42 thank you very much for support!

I am also having a similar problem. I printed one day with my printer and noticed that the temperature trajectory bounced around a lot. Started to print the next day and noticed that after sitting all night and everything settling to room temperature there were major differences between my bed temperature and nozzle temperature. The bed uses a standard glass in cased thermocouple. I am using a PT 100 with daughter board for the hot end. I moved a 100ohm Resistor in place of the PT 100 cartridge and get a reading of -20c. It should’ve been zero.

@tony449777 Can you check the values of the resistors as mentioned by DC42 above?

tony449777

@phaedrux

R1 200.2
R2 200.2/3

Phaedrux

@tony449777 They appear to be exactly half of what they should be...

tony449777

@phaedrux I wonder how that could happen? I believe I got this daughterboard from Filastruder. It was purchased a while ago, but never used until this build.

@tony449777 the multimeter may give the wrong (lower) resistance readings, depending on what voltage it uses to measure resistance. If it was previously working then the resistors should be OK.

tony449777

@dc42 I’m using a Fluke. I have 3 others. I’ll try them all. However, how would we ever be able to come up with a reference for resistors if all multimeters give us such a diverse readings?

tony449777

@dc42 I can’t attach a picture, it will not let me however I can tell you R1 is marked”102” while R2,R3,R4 are all marked “201”

tony449777

On my precision bench meter both resistors measure R1-199.50 and R2-199.52

tony449777

I also have 3 PT100 cartridges in the same room measuring within 1° of each other. By that I mean looking at a PT 100s resistance table and measuring each one’s resistance, according to the table they are within 1° of each other.

tony449777

Also curious, if the channel 1 on the daughter board is “spi.cs1”
And you have one daughter board with the two ports, then is the second port for the same card “spi.cs2”?

Why can't you attach a picture?

Do both channels give the wrong reading when you connect the 100 ohm resistor to each in turn?

Yes.

tony449777

@dc42 yes

@dc42 I’m using the phone application. Every time I try to attach a picture it just says undefined.

@tony449777 it's easier from a PC, you can just drag and drop a .jpg file into your post.

tony449777

@dc42 Update. Switched out the daughter board for another one I purchased from filastruder and it works fine. It must be the board.
