Octodash Enclosure Temperature Setup
Hi Everyone,
Just got my first printer (i3 mk3). I have a RPI 3b+ and an LCD with Octoprint/Octodash installed. Everything works, but I'm unable to see the enclosure temperature. All the required plugins are installed.
From what I've read, the Einsy board has a built in ambient temperature sensor that I possible could be using to display enclosure temperature on the Octodash LCD.
Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to get this to display? Or do I have to wire a separate temperature sensor to the RPI?
Thanks for the help

I haven't found a plug-in that parses out the A: value in the return from the M105 temperature request command.
I think I might try a temperature sensor I have lying around connected to my pi.
On a related note. I see that the A: ambient temperature result that is being returned by my prusa is a couple of degrees higher than the cold extruder and cold bed. Maybe the einsy is generating a bit of heat that is being picked up by the einsy ambient temp probe. Therefore maybe the separate temp probe on the pi might be more accurate to the actual chamber temp.

Just to follow-up on my comment about using a pi temperature sensor.
I had a ds18b20 thermometer and this setup worked pretty quickly.

I had the waterproof version instead of just the sensor but that is only a packaging difference.
