DS1620 temperature sensor in high resolution mode

Hello has anyone got any code examples to use the DS1620 in hight res mode and displaying the result on a 16x2 LCD. I have been trying to modify the melabs ds1620 example using an example of basic stamp code for high res mode and I keep on getting very strange results.

Here is the code example from melabs
http://www.melabs.com/resources/samp...pbp/temp3x.bas

Here is the code from the high res basic stamp (About half way down the page
http://www.emesystems.com/OL2d1620.htm


Any help you be much appreciated as I have been trying most of last weekend and I feel like riping my hair out. :)

Here is the code I have mashed together using the BS and Picbasic examples. I keep on getting very strange numbers in the 1000's. I have allready set the registers in the DS1620 eeprom.

Here is the app note from dallas about the increased res functions of the ds1620

Double post sorry

I'm not sure but I have been modifying the code and I think the problem is displaying the temp on the lcd and I am not displaying/changing it correctly

From dallas app note 105

DS1620, DS1623, and DS1625:
1. Issue Start Convert protocol (EEh).
2. When conversion is finished, read 9–bit temperature value (AAh).
3. Truncate half–degree bit from reading.
4. Convert truncated value from 2’s complement to signed integer (named temp_read).
5. Read 9–bit counter value (A0h; named count_remain).
6. Send undocumented Load Counter protocol (41h).
7. Read 9–bit counter value (A0h; named count_per_degree).
APPLICATION NOTE 105
4 of 20
8. Calculate high–resolution temperature using the high resolution temperature equation given in the
previous section.

The equation is tempreture=½ LSB = 0.25.temp_read-1/2 LSB + (count_per_degree - count_remain)/count_per_degree


When I use the code on the lcd
Lcdout $fe, 1, dec (degc >> 1), ".", dec (degc.0 * 5), " degrees C"

The lcd displays 2562

When I use the code on the lcd
Lcdout $fe, 1, rep "-"\degC.bit15,dec abs degC/10,".",dec2 abs degC

The lcd displays 51.24

My maths is quite bad and some parts look very alien to me so if anyone has got any sugestions on what I can try.
