Description

On the circuitboard of the EBB36 v1.2 a 2-pin header left of the center, bottom row of connectors is labeled 'PT1000'. On the wiring/pinout diagram that header is labeled TH0. There's also a header to the far right, bottom row of connectors without any markings on the pcb, right below the bank of microswitches, that's labeled PT100/PT1000 on the diagram.

Can you provide clarification which is to be used for which situation, and the correct pinout for the 4-pin connector? I _think_ the PT1000 labeled 2-pin is for the emulated PT1000 sensor (like on the M5P board), and the unmarked 4-pin for the header that is connected to the MAX31865 chip, but it is not clear at all from the documentation.

Additionally, the pins to be used for a 2-pin sensor via the 4-pin connector are not specified. From other sources on the web I think those need to be connected to the center 2 pins, but it would be nice to get clarification here.

Research direction

Compare the EBB36 v1.2 circuit board labels with the wiring/pinout diagram, focusing on the PT1000, TH0, and unmarked 4-pin headers and the MAX31865 connection mentioned in the issue. Document which header serves each sensor situation and specify the correct pinout, including the pins for a 2-pin sensor; done means the documentation removes these ambiguities.
