Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Comidox MAX31865 PT100/PT1000 RTD Temperature Thermocouple Sensor Amplifier Board Temperature Detector Module for Arduino - (1 Unit) by Chuck Hernandez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

WARNING! PRODUCT DOES NOT MATCH THE DESCRIPTION! THIS BOARD IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PT1000!

The product description says this board will work with a PT100 or PT1000 RTD. It is not true! According to the MAX31865 datasheet, "a reference resistor four times the resistance of the RTD is optimal for a platinum RTD. So the PT100 uses a 400 ohm reference resistor and the PT1000 uses a kohm reference resistor.โ€ This board uses a 430 ohm reference resistor. Reference resistance and is therefore intended for use with a PT100 resistance sensor. If you use this with a PT1000 you should buy another board with a 4.3kฮฉ reference resistor.

Pros
  • Our MAX31865 tapped RTD sensor amplifier for use with any 2, 3 or 4 wire PT100 RTD!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
