Changing displayed temperature to Fahrenheit, please help.

#4803

I have been searching for this answer for a couple of days with no luck. Could someone please share the way to change the temperature display to Fahrenheit? I see that in the MAX31855.cpp there is a portion that seems to deal with this, but I do not see the variable “unit” that this then relates to. I would appreciate any help with this. maybe this could be added to the front end as well. Usually in an off the shelf PID I can change the unit within a few seconds.

OK, after emailing Brett and then guessing and adding and removing things from the files. I have it working, not sure if it is 100% the correct way of doing it, but it now displays Fahrenheit. I did not remove some of the things I changed because this is working and I do not have time to verify if I needed to make all of the changes.

Within the io.h file I changed two parts:

1: `
double ReadInputFromCard()
{
if(inputType == 0) return thermocouple.readFahrenheit(); //cahnged this from readCelcius
else if(inputType == 1)
{
2:
double ReadInputFromCard()
{
if(inputType == 0)
{
double val = thermocouple.readThermocouple(FAHRENHEIT); //changed this from (CELSIUS)
if (val==FAULT_OPEN|| val==FAULT_SHORT_GND|| val==FAULT_SHORT_VCC)val = NAN;
return val;
}

I also corrected the misspelled “farenheit” in the max6675 files. This was not necessary. I just could not handle it and had to fix it.

I will try and leave more notes as I go on. I have been modifying the UI for my purposes and adding notifications using the pushbullet API through curl commands.
