        CircuitPython driver for the `MAX31855 Thermocouple Amplifier Breakout <https://www.adafruit.com/product/269>`_
        
        Dependencies
        =============
        This driver depends on:
        
        * `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
        * `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
        
        Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
        This is easily achieved by downloading
        `the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
        
        Installing from PyPI
        ====================
        
        On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
        PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-max31855/>`_. To install for current user:
        
        .. code-block:: shell
        
            pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31855
        
        To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
        
        .. code-block:: shell
        
            sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31855
        
        To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
        
        .. code-block:: shell
        
            mkdir project-name && cd project-name
            python3 -m venv .env
            source .env/bin/activate
            pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31855
        
        Usage Example
        ==============
        
        Of course, you must import the library to use it:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import adafruit_max31855
        
        You also need to create an SPI interface object, and a pin object for the
        chip select pin. You can use any pin for the CS, but we use D5 here:
        
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from busio import SPI
            from digitalio import DigitalInOut
            import board
        
            spi = SPI(clock=board.SCK, MISO=board.MISO, MOSI=board.MOSI)
            cs = DigitalInOut(board.D5)
        
        Next, just create the sensor object:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            sensor = adafruit_max31855.MAX31855(spi, cs)
        
        And you can start making measurements:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            print(sensor.temperature)
        
        The temperature is read in degrees Celsius (°C). You have to convert it to
        other units yourself, if you need it.
