Adafruit Max31856 thermocouple amp and Max31865 RTD amp codes will not compile

Thank you for quick reply. I appreciate it. I have everything to learn. After I posted, I named one "max0" and the other "max1" and reflected it in the rest of the sketch. It compiled past the original error with a new concerning a conflict between "uint8_Fault = max0.readFault ();" and "uint8_Fault = max1.readFault ();", so I commented out the latter (max1) and it compiled.

I don't know what "uint8" (or "uint16") mean yet, so I'll have to find out. From your observation it seems that uint8 for max0 and max1 can't have the name.

Once I discover what uint8 means, may be I can resolve the conflict with another name. At any rate, being able to read the faults is a bonus, which is nice but not entirely necessary.

May I ask, do you know what "uint8" refers to and means?

Again, thank you so much. You are right, I renamed "max" and fixed 90% of the problem.

I am learning.
