Help with Thermocouple

I have a MAX 6675 Thermocouple board that I would like to use with a RAMPS 1.4 board. The problem is I can’t seem to find info as to how to wire it up and if it will work with Sprinter firmware? Sorry I’m new to this and any help would be appreciated.

there is a bit of info here: [reprap.org] You would use -2 in Marlin. i dont see a setting for that in Sprinter though.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the info. I may end up switching to the AD597 if I can’t find anything on the MAX6675.

I have the same problem,what shoud I do?

Sprinter does seem to include support for AD595, but it is untested so it might cause a disaster if the reading for the temperature is not ok. There is also a comment on MAX6675 in heater.cpp, but i'm not sure where they are going with this. They might support it in the future, but the last change was like 6 month ago, i would not wait for it.

I would consider Marlin if i was you. It is based on Sprinter, at least some portion of it. [github.com]

it is pretty versatile and its constantly evolving, last change 3 hours ago...
