It looks like the following process works:
- Clear register 0x04 - especially bits 6 & 7, the burst complete and Th Update bits.
- In a while loop read the temperature until the status register (0x04) reads higher than 0x40. This means the Th has updated, and/or the burst is complete.
- Then read the temperatures. I included a test that ignores any temp reading of 16.0625 to be sure they are not logged. This does create a gap between 16.000 and 16.125, but K-type thermocouples (which I am using) are only 1.5C accurate or less, thus I am not too concerned about missing that reading.
I did set the MCP9600 with the following registers:
- Register 0x05 with 0x00 (K-Type with no filter set)
- Register 0x06 with 0x1E (0.0625C resolution/18-bit/128 samples burst/burst mode)
