I just wanted to close this out. After further inspection I believe it was my poor soldering skills. On the 24 3 pad, some solder was touching the pad that I had broken the wire to, thus reconnecting it. I reheated the solder and was able to remove it. I plugged the chip in and it is working...

I received a new Max and wired it up. I am not getting random temps anymore. However, the temp is way off. It is reading 1325F. It is holding steady within a degree. When I grab the temp probe in my hand the temp starts rising and falls back when I let go. Any idea what would make the...

Yes, I have had mine set to 430. The temp probe is brand new. Maybe I fried something on the Max. I may re-order and try again.

I did a simple program to turn on an led and figured out I had the ribbon, attaching the breakout board to the breadboard, attached backward. I fixed that and was able to get the led to turn on so I believe everything is attached to the pi correctly now. I also examined the MAX chip and ensured...

Thanks for the additional schematic and the info about the temp reading. I have double checked the wiring and everything seems to be hooked up correctly. I will try to let it sit a while. If that doesn't work I will review the work I did on the Max chip. Could be my rookie soldering skills :)

thanks, really appreciate it. Also, the reading from Craftbeerpi3 from my temp probe says 1811.42 F. I assume that is some default value and says something is not hooked up correctly? Let me know if you have any ideas about that.

Hi, thanks very much for the info. I have the inputs wired from the chip to the pi as you show. Can you explain the output? I thought the output would go to the SSR with one wire to ground (-) and the other to a GPIO pin for (+). Very new to this so any help is appreciated.
