max31855 thermocouple amplifier SPI interface

Official Hardware MKR Family MKR 1000 WiFi

I am struggling to get my mkr1000 to read temperature values from a k-type thermocouple using the max31855 amplifier. I had it working perfectly on my Due.

Can someone please advise me on the correct wiring of the SO, CS and SCK lines from the max31855 to the mkr1000? My understanding is that I can only use pins 8, 9 and 10 for SPI on the mkr1000, is this correct? Also, am I still able to use the max31855 library from adafruit?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, yes sdandard SPI is located on that pins. Anyway you can add a custom SERCOM https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SamdSercom on other pins.

HAve you tried it out on a Zero? Maybe there is some missing code for SAMD architecture
