DS1620 thermometer
Hi Stampers,
I need to measure the temperature on 3 different places, and I dont want to eat
up all Stamp pins for that.
Is there a way to 'network' the 3 DS1620 ? I've got my idea, but I'd like to
have another advice.
Thanks in advance.
Phil.

Try the DS1820 or DS1920 1-Wire Devices. You can build a MicroLAN.

In our next BS book 1-Wire examples are included.

Reset line. The Reset line behaves like a chip select. Make sure that you
put a 1K resistor between each chip's DQ line and the data bus. This will
prevent short circuit problems caused by a possible bus conflict.
If you move up to the BS2p, you can use Dallas 1-Wire thermometers and string
nearly as many as you'd like on a single Stamp pin.

comercial environment. Why is the BS2p necessary, and not the BS2? Is there
any sample code for interfaceing with the 1-Wire units?
Thanks

The BS2p has direct support for 1-Wire with new commands (OWOUT and OWIN).
It also supports high-speed and bit-mode access. There is no simpler way to
deal with 1-Wire devices than with the BS2p. I demonstrated it for Dallas
Semiconductor and even they were impressed.
You can't use the BS2 directly since it isn't fast enough to synthesize the
1-Wire protocol. You can use an interface, like the one from Steve Parkiss.
Take a look at...

...for info and BS2 code samples for Steve's chip.

I just wonder if the sharing of the Clock lines will not cause conversion
problems. The function of the DS1620 depends on the way the clock line is
managed. If it goes low and stays low, then a continuous convertion begins.
If it goes low and then high in 10 ms max, then a single conversion begins.
So, if I use the same line for three devices, I think I must pay attention
to this, and maybe send clock pulses larger than 10 ms. What to you think ?
Best regards,
Phil.

with a CPU. The Clock/Conv line is used to start conversions when the device
is programmed for stand-alone operation.
