# Thermocouple Mod

###  **Hardware Components You’ll Need:** 

1. **Arduino Nano**
2. **HW-550 Thermocouple (MAX6675) Module**
3. **Jumper Wires**
4. **USB Cable** for Arduino Nano connection
5. [TCSkycommand.ino](https://skywiki.coffee/attachments/2)  
      
    [Quick Video Overview](https://youtube.com/live/_3JSB-hutMc?feature=share)

---

### **Step 1: Installing the Arduino IDE**

If you haven’t already installed the **Arduino IDE**, follow these steps:

1. **Download the Arduino IDE** from the <a rel="noopener" target="_new">official Arduino website</a>.
2. **Install the software** on your computer, following the on-screen instructions for your operating system (Windows/macOS/Linux).
3. Once installed, **open the Arduino IDE**.

---

### **Step 2: Installing the MAX6675 Library**

To interface with the **HW-550 (MAX6675) thermocouple**, you will need the **MAX6675 library**.

1. Open the **Arduino IDE**.
2. Click on **Sketch** &gt; **Include Library** &gt; **Manage Libraries**.
3. In the **Library Manager** window, type **MAX6675** in the search box.
4. Look for the library titled **MAX6675 by Adafruit** and click **Install**.
5. Wait until the installation is complete.

---

### **Step 3: Wiring the HW-550 (MAX6675) to Arduino Nano**

### Hardware Setup

1. **Thermocouple (MAX6675) Connections:** The code sets these pins:
    
    
    - `pinSCK = 7`
    - `pinCS = 6`
    - `pinSO = 5`
    
    Wire your MAX6675 module as follows:
    
    
    - Arduino `5V` to MAX6675 `VCC`
    - Arduino `GND` to MAX6675 `GND`
    - Arduino `7 (SCK)` to MAX6675 `SCK`
    - Arduino `6 (CS)` to MAX6675 `CS`
    - Arduino `5 (SO)` to MAX6675 `SO`
    
    **Note:** If your MAX6675 module specifies different power requirements or has a regulator onboard, ensure you follow its recommended wiring.
2. **Roaster Control Lines:**
    
    
    - `txPin = 3` (Arduino output)
    - `rxPin = 2` (Arduino input)
    
    Connect these pins to your roaster's control interface as required. These pins are used for sending and receiving signals from the roaster.
3. **Power and Grounding:** Ensure all grounds (Arduino, MAX6675, roaster interface) share a common ground. Double-check all connections to avoid damage to the board or sensors.
    
    ### Preparing the Code
    
    
    1. **Open Arduino IDE:** Launch the Arduino IDE on your computer.
    2. **Create or Open the Sketch:**
        
        
        - Create a new sketch (File &gt; New).
        - Copy and paste the provided code into the new sketch window.
    3. **Select Your Board and Port:**
        
        
        - Go to **Tools &gt; Board** and choose your Arduino board model (e.g., Arduino Uno).
        - Go to **Tools &gt; Port** and select the port that your Arduino is connected to.
    4. **Verify Libraries:**
        
        
        - Ensure the `MAX6675` library is installed via the Library Manager as noted above.
        - `SPI` is included by default, no additional steps needed
    
    ### Compiling and Uploading
    
    
    1. **Verify (Compile) the Code:**
        
        
        - Click the **Checkmark (Verify)** button in the Arduino IDE toolbar to compile the code.
        - If there are errors, make sure you’ve selected the correct board, port, and have the MAX6675 library properly installed.
    2. **Upload the Code:**
        
        
        - Once verification is successful, click the **Right Arrow (Upload)** button to upload the code to your Arduino.
        - After upload completes, the Arduino will reset and begin running the program automatically.
    
    ### Running and Interacting
    
    
    1. **Serial Monitor:**
        
        
        - Open the Serial Monitor by going to **Tools &gt; Serial Monitor**.
        - Set the baud rate to `115200` to match the code’s setting.
    2. **Commands:** You can send commands via the Serial Monitor. Examples:
        
        
        - `READ` — returns the temperature readings and current duty cycles.
        - `OT1;XX` — sets heater duty cycle to XX (0-100).
        - `OT2;XX` — sets fan duty cycle to XX (0-100).
        - `DRUM;1` — turns the drum on (100%), `DRUM;0` turns it off.
        - `FILTER;XX`, `COOL;XX` — sets filter fan or cooling levels.
        - `CHAN` — responds with channel setup.
        - `UNITS;C` or `UNITS;F` — changes temperature units between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
        - `OFF` — shuts down all outputs.
    3. **Data Output:**
        
        
        - The Serial Monitor will display temperature data from the thermocouple and any status messages.
        - If no commands are received for an extended period, the code will shut everything down for safety
    
    ### Troubleshooting
    
    
    - **No Temperature Reading:**  
        Double-check thermocouple wiring and confirm the MAX6675 module is functioning.
    - **No Response to Commands:**  
        Ensure you’ve set the correct baud rate and are typing commands properly in the Serial Monitor.
    - **No Upload / Compilation Errors:**  
        Confirm you have the correct board selected and libraries installed.
