Reading the DS1820 using OWIN_OWOUT.BSP

G McMurry

OK --

My latest project is to build a temperature sensor. As usual I like to start with experiments or examples in my PBasic manuals.

This time, I am using OWIN_OWOUT.bsp from the "Basic Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual". Simple enough, I followed the directions for wiring (not rocket science) then cut the code from the PDF and pasted it into my PBasic Editor.

The code runs fine but comes up with strange readings. Sitting here in my office, I see 3 degrees C and 37 degrees F.

The code is working as I added a little blinking LED to toggle during each read loop. Also, if I pinch the DS1820 between my fingers, the readings go up then return when I let go.

My handy digital thermometer sitting next to the sensor reads 74 degrees F (its a little warm in my studio today)

Just for fun, I added the raw tempIn variable to the DEBUG. It is reading 39. I thought the DS18S20 was supposed to read temp directly in C

I am really confused. Any ideas would be appreciated.

(PS I have tried three different sensors with the same results I am using the actual DS1820 not the DS18S20 replacement because I had a few of them already. They are supposed to be basically the same.)



This is my DEBUG

Here is the PBasic from the book (plus a couple of lines I added myself)

1820s and 1822s are not the same chips check the datasheet and the code to make sure the numbers you are getting are the ones you want. Seems to me I had to change things around a bit to get mine working correctly.

I was just going by the notes on the Maxim website.

However, I am using the DS1820 that is asked for in the Parallax Sample Code... (not the newer s model)

I don't have any problem changing the code to make the numbers work, its just that I figured I must have been doing something wrong.

Again I say the 1822 (which the code seems to be written for) and the 1820 do NOT use the same output values. Look at the two datasheets to see the difference in the data returned for a specific temperature.

THANKS I REALLY appreciate your advice....

I now have two of the 1820s running at the same time with different readings. You are soo right...
