Yes, you can use J1 to connect an RTD to U1 (MAX31865). The connections for the RTD to the MAX31865 can be made as follows:
Connect the positive lead of the RTD to J1:PIN1 (which is connected to U1:FORCE+ and U1:FORCE2).
Connect the negative lead of the RTD to J1:PIN3 (which is connected to U1:FORCE- and U1:RTDIN-).
Connect the RTD leads to J1:PIN2 (which is connected to U1:RTDIN+ and C3:P2).
With these connections, the MAX31865 is configured for a 2-wire RTD connection. Please note that 2-wire configurations can have inaccuracies due to lead wire resistance. For improved accuracy, consider using a 3-wire or 4-wire RTD configuration.
To connect an RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) in this project, you'll need to follow these steps:
Connect the RTD to the MAX31865AAP+ IC, which is specifically designed for RTD sensors. The RTD connects between the "RTDIN+" (Pin 10) and "RTDIN-" (Pin 11) pins of the MAX31865AAP+ IC.
Connect three or four wires between the RTD and the MAX31865AAP+, depending on whether you're using a 3-wire or 4-wire configuration. In a 3-wire configuration, connect one of the RTD leads to the "RTDIN+" pin and the other two leads to the "RTDIN-" pin. In a 4-wire configuration, connect one pair of RTD leads to the "RTDIN+" and "RTDIN-" pins and the other pair to the "FORCE+" (Pin 8) and "FORCE-" (Pin 12) pins on the MAX31865AAP+.
Ensure the other connections for the MAX31865AAP+ are correctly made, as per the schematic. These include connections for bias resistor (R1), bypass capacitors (C1 and C2), power supply (VDD, DVDD, GND, and DGND), and SPI communication (SDO, SDI, SCLK, ~CS, and ~DRDY).
The SPI communication pins on the MAX31865AAP+ should be connected to the appropriate SPI pins on the Raspberry Pi header (GPIO 9 for MISO, GPIO 10 for MOSI, GPIO 11 for SCLK, and GPIO 25 for SPI chip select, or another available GPIO pin for chip select).
Once you have connected the RTD to the circuit according to these steps, the MAX31865AAP+ will convert the RTD's resistance to a digital temperature value that can be read by the Raspberry Pi via SPI communication.
To connect an RTD to the J1 connector, you should follow these steps:
3-Wire RTD connection:
a. Connect the RTD's first wire (usually red) to J1's PIN1, which is connected to the MAX31865's FORCE+ and FORCE2 pins.
b. Connect the RTD's second wire (usually white or black depending on RTD type) to J1's PIN2, which is connected to the MAX31865's RTDIN+ pin.
c. Connect the RTD's third wire (usually red) to J1's PIN3, which is connected to the MAX31865's RTDIN- and FORCE- pins.
Note: For 3-wire connections, the MAX31865 effectively eliminates the wire resistance by measuring the resistance in FORCE+ (and FORCE2) and FORCE- wires.
2-Wire RTD connection (not recommended due to wire resistance):
a. Connect the RTD's first wire (usually red) to J1's PIN1, which is connected to the MAX31865's FORCE+ and FORCE2 pins.
b. Connect the RTD's second wire (usually white or black depending on RTD type) to J1's PIN2, which is connected to the MAX31865's RTDIN+ pin.
c. Short J1's PIN3 with J1's PIN1, which will connect the MAX31865's RTDIN- and FORCE- pins to FORCE+ (and FORCE2).
Note that in this configuration, any resistance in the RTD connection wires will affect the temperature readings, which is why a 3-wire connection is recommended.
