Colibri PID is an expansion module with two Pt1000 temperature sensor inputs.

MAX31865 is the resistor Whetstone bridge A/D converter. It uses SPI instead of I2C.

Analog Devices description of the device

   The MAX31865 is an easy-to-use resistance-to-digital
   converter optimized for platinum resistance temperature
   detectors (RTDs). An external resistor sets the sensitivity
   for the RTD being used and a precision delta-sigma ADC
   converts the ratio of the RTD resistance to the reference
   resistance into digital form. The MAX31865’s inputs are
   protected against overvoltage faults as large as ±45V.
   Programmable detection of RTD and cable open and
   short conditions is included.

A 3.9kΩ (0.1% tolerance) is used as the reference sensor, which allows for a reasonably large measurement range, without sacrificing A/D accuracy.

We have successfully used Pt1000 (DIN), Ni1000 (DIN) and Ni1000 (Tk5000) with the MAX31865.
