Any board supported by [blinka](https://circuitpython.org/blinka) and has SPI should work. You'll also want to make sure the board has wifi. If you use something other than a Raspberry PI and get it to work, let me know. |

Make sure the type will work with your thermocouple board. Adafruit-MAX31855 works only with K-type. Adafruit-MAX31856 is flexible and works with many types, but folks usually pick S-type. |
