Rename the uncompressed folder Adafruit_MAX31856 and check that the Adafruit_MAX31856 folder contains

Adafruit_MAX31856.cpp and Adafruit_MAX31856.h

Place the Adafruit_MAX31856 library folder your arduinosketchfolder/libraries/ folder.

You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE.

We also have a great tutorial on Arduino library installation at:

Restart the IDE

Attach Thermocouple

You'll need to attach a thermocouple, for this demo we'll be using a K-type but you can adjust the demo if you do not

have a K-type handy!

Load Demo

Open up File->Examples->Adafruit_MAX31856->max31856 and upload to your Arduino wired up to the sensor. Adjust

the max.setThermocoupleType(MAX31856_TCTYPE_K) line if necessary.
