DS18B20 temperature sensor

[iber]

@LoneTech have you got a working example with the Lopy/Wipy?
When I try to get it working on a Lopy I get a 'OneWire pin didn't go high' error when I run this piece of code d=DS18X20(Pin('G5'))

[iber]

I got it working now.

from machine import Pin
from ds18x20 import DS18X20
d=DS18X20(Pin('G17', mode=Pin.OUT))
result=d.read_temps()
print(result)

@LoneTech Thank you! I'll give it a try as soon as I have time :)

@michal The temperature output(2525 = 25.25 degrees celsius) is as 4 digits output. The strange fact is that If I read the same sensor with raspberry pi or on Arduino I got the value as 5 digits. (eq 25437)

[Colateral]

@Colateral I checked the code an conv_temp function shall be changed as following

def convert_temp(self, rom0, data):
    """
    Convert the raw temperature data into degrees celsius and return as a fixed point with 2 decimal places.
    """
    temp_lsb = data[0]
    temp_msb = data[1]
    if rom0 == 0x10:
        if temp_msb != 0:
            # convert negative number
            temp_read = temp_lsb >> 1 | 0x80  # truncate bit 0 by shifting, fill high bit with 1.
            temp_read = -((~temp_read + 1) & 0xff) # now convert from two's complement
        else:
            temp_read = temp_lsb >> 1  # truncate bit 0 by shifting
        count_remain = data[6]
        count_per_c = data[7]
        temp = 100 * temp_read - 25 + (count_per_c - count_remain) // count_per_c
        return temp
    elif rom0 == 0x28:
        temp = (temp_msb << 8 | temp_lsb) / 16
        if (temp_msb & 0xf8) == 0xf8 :  # for negative temperature
           temp -= 0x1000

        return temp * 1000
    else:
        assert False

@madsdk P23/G10 has SD_CLK (pulse clock) required for bit banging.

@iber how did you import the ds18x20 module? I am getting the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'ds18x20'

I have pasted the ds18x20.py into the folder my other py files and project is in. Is that not where it goes?

[dchappel]

@sk

onewire.py and ds18x20.py are in my lib directory (available here per @LoneTech: http://donkey.vernier.se/~yann/onewire.zip)

This works for me:

import time
from machine import Pin
from ds18x20 import DS18X20

while True:
    
    d=DS18X20(Pin('P23', mode=Pin.OUT))
    
    result=(d.read_temps())
    
    if result:
        val=str(result[0]*1.8+32)
    else:
        val="-1"
        
    print(val)
    
    time.sleep(5)

@dchappel i cant get this to work, i get

what firmware are you using?

[dchappel]

@DonHugo

(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.5.1.b1', version='v1.8.6-423-g18444a2 on 2017-02-07', machine='LoPy with ESP32', lorawan='1.0.0')

The pin not going high message sounds more like a wiring issue? Are you sure your wiring is correct and the pullup resistor bridges +3.3V and data? I had same issue and realized that I had sensor wire colors mixed up...

@dchappel
I'm very new to this (and LoPy and python) : where is your lib directory ?(I'll adapt to my own config).

[livius]

@Guizmolux
I do not know if you ask for this
but fully working examlpe code you can find in official docs
https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/pycom_esp32/tutorial/includes/onewire.html

[Guizmolux]

@livius
I get that. Copied the code into a onewire.py file. Where should I put it?
I've tried to execute before the main.py file and I always get the "cannot import name OneWire" or "DS18X20".
is the const() a problem in class OneWire ?

[livius]

@Guizmolux

but do you have upgraded firmware?
current is 1.6.12.b1
what is yours? you can check firmware version by

os.uname()

if it is really old then go to
https://www.pycom.io/resources/

next, is this how your onewire looks like?
https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/blob/master/lib/onewire/onewire.py

put it in the same place where you have main.py or in lib subfolder

and then you can simply use it

import time
from machine import Pin
from onewire import DS18X20
from onewire import OneWire

#DS18B20 data line connected to pin P10
ow = OneWire(Pin('P10'))
temp = DS18X20(ow)

while True:
    print(temp.read_temp_async())
    time.sleep(1)
    temp.start_convertion()
    time.sleep(1)

@livius
it didn't seem to work with Pymakr. The Atom IDE with Pymakr pluggin solution that was updated as a tutorial last week definitely helped.
It seems to be good now.
Thank you!

@livius said in DS18B20 temperature sensor:

https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/blob/master/lib/onewire/onewire.py

When I do exactly as you state here, and connect the temperature sensor to 3.3v, and with the 4,7k resistor between sig and 3.3v - I get this error:

File "main.py", line 22, in <module>
File "/flash/lib/onewire.py", line 190, in read_temp_async
IndexError: list index out of range

I have latest firmware and atom plugin

EDIT: after checking that I have latest onewire from here https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/blob/master/lib/onewire/onewire.py this error was gone. I then had to correct your spelling mistake in "convertion" and now it's working, but despite everything being hooked up correctly - it prints out "None"...

[livius]

@soren

1. what you got from (you must change P10 to pin you use):

ow = OneWire(Pin('P10'))
ow.roms

if nothing then test(double ow)

ow.ow.scan()

2. which sensor do you have exactly? woterproof or some different?

[jimpower]

@dchappel I followed your main.py with both onewire.py and ds18x20.py in my lib, this works for the first temp reading, every following temp reading doesn't change from the first. I moved the sensor into the fridge and then freezer and the readings styed the same. Once I reset the device it will bring the new reading but only again for the first reading. Did you find this with yours?

[livius]

@jimpower
better look here
https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/examples/DS18X20

[jimpower]

@livius thanks that did the trick
