Giday Alex Thank you for the reply. I will get a replacement card but in the mean time I will endeavour to try & narrow down the likely cause. It’s a Little difficult at present the only RTD card in the system which is currently live. Regards TonyD

Giday Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The RTD card has been running since Wednesday & hadn't missed a beat until today when the same channel Channel 3 Failed returning false temperatures as if the Thermistor was not connected.

Giday Yes am using the latest 8mosfet from your GitHub. Even tried update of the repo & it came back that on my RPi is the latest. One thing that makes me think may be in the python driver is when I read a temp from a probe on rtd I get back an incredibly long long long long floating point...
