Anyone know where I can find a full installation guide for an E3D pt100 kit? I have a Rostock max v2 with a E3D V6 hotend. So far I've only been able to find bits and pieces of the process in the forums. I still can't find where to plug the amp into the stock Rostock board or how to update the firmware.
Just getting into 3D printing so apologies if this is a pretty basic question.

Go ahead and search my post history first if you have any other questions about PT100's, since it seems I've helped most of the people on the forums who are using them and was among the first to get it working (There didn't seem to be any working guides when I started on it).

I connected through the regular thermistor wires (since all of the stuff that goes through the top deck already goes through screw terminals it was the easiest way to do it), and connected to (IIRC), the ground and A6 on the analog EXT. Plugging it into the regular thermistor jack, which I tried since I'm lazy, did not work and showed a large error.
Spoiler:
That is the rambo section of my pins.h, which should be all you need. I'll go take a picture of where the pins actually connect later. My printer lives out in a barn that I am not eager to go out to early in the morning. BTW, what firmware are you planning to run this with, and where do you plan to put your amplifier? I have mine in the top deck in a little housing that sits just between the pieces of the spool support, where I can easily swap the hotends over. I also made use of a 3 pin computer fan cable to provide it's power, signal, ETC, since it fits perfectly and gives me a cleaner package. If you plan on using marlin, that's cool, I was tempted but couldn't figure out if there was actual good delta support in it, since the wiki said TODO, and the projects involving it were rather out of date. If you're using repetier, you may need the sensor table for it as well. In which case, I have a table, which I am not sure is entirely accurate, but as the initial temperature are accurate, and it is converted from the marlin table, which should also be accurate, I imagine that it should be fairly close.
Spoiler:
I make no guarantees about any of this stuff, it is simply what has worked for me thus far. Let me know how it goes for you, and take some piccies of what you end up printing for me, I love seeing what other people are doing.
