As for vutwong and awootton, I may have the answer to your problems if you have already tried everything Tuckie has suggested. On the GitHub page in the example, the example pins are as follows: cs_pin = 24 clock_pin = 23 ...

Thanks for the reply, but it turns out that in my prototyping, I have many connections that are not totally solid. With a bit of wiggling, I can get the sensors to read temperatures quite nicely. Once I get it soldered in the right spot it should be good to go. Kudos to you!

Thanks to dowlf's post, I managed to get everything installed correctly and "working". However, no matter how I connect the pins from the GPIO on the Pi to the pins on the MAX31855, the output produced by max31855.py is still the same: Test conversions from MAX31855 datasheet External Thermocouple: ...
