DS1726 in PBP

[Hainkm]

Hi!

I'm working with a DS1726 (program same as a DS1626) trying to get this thing to read Fahrenheit temperatures.

Does anyone have any code examples? I can't seem to find out a lot about this chip.

I thought about changing over to the DS1820 via 1-wire, but I see it's obsolete now?

Here's what I'm looking for:

Temp sensor with 12-bit resolution (well, 11 plus sign bit), SPI or 1-wire, plus some sample code to help me get started.

THANK YOU!!!
Kris

Plenty of DS1820 types still out there.
Obsolete? Maybe only because the company has a 'new, improved' version. Nothing wrong with the old one...

Hi Kris,

Only the original DS1820 is obsolete.

It was replaced with the DS18S20, which does the same thing, just in a better way.

And there's still the DS18B20. (12 bits)
Lot's of code in the forum for the DS18B20.

Thanks! I'll look into getting a few of those and hopefully will have some better luck!!

Thank you!!

Great!

And, for the DS18B20, see this link

Bruce also sells the DS18B20, so you won't need to look too far.

Ok, I got myself a DS18B20 and used the code above, works like a champ!

Now...does anyone have an easy way to get a 1-decimal point reading when we're below 32F? (when it goes below 0c, it truncates the F reading to whole numbers only)

Thanks for all your help!!

Look at Bruce's math expressions in the yikes sub directory, look at how he did it for degrees C using the DIG modifier, I think thats how it's done. Understand I'm still feeling stupid here so don't trust me, but I really think it is the DIG 3 or DIG 4 modifiers doing it, so check the manual 4.17.7 DIG page 33.
