Summary
This circuit integrates an Arduino UNO microcontroller with two Adafruit MAX31865 RTD Sensor Breakouts. The Arduino UNO is responsible for controlling the sensors and processing the data from the RTD sensors. The MAX31865 is a precision temperature sensor breakout board that reads Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs). The circuit is designed to measure temperature with high accuracy by using the RTD sensors interfaced with the Arduino UNO through SPI communication.
