Hi all,
I have a question regarding an issue that I am running into. I am using an Arduino Uno, with the Adafruit Data logging shield (on board SD and RTC clock) and the AD595 thermocouple interface. The issue is with the combination of the two. Alone both of these are working correctly however when I try to combine the two, the data that is read is incorrect and not even a value that I can determine its origin. Basically I am using the Adafruit open source fridge temp and light code to do the data logging and want to incorporate the AD595 as the temperature source. I realize this is large and open question so I will continue to debug this project on my end, but any suggestions as to what to look at would be helpful. I suspect that for some reason I do not have permission to access the AD595 library source so the output I am seeing is wrong.
