Detection of 1 wire device

[Scampy]

I have a single 18B20 temp sensor and read the device using the code below

'Get and display the temperature
GIE = 0
OWOUT DQ, 1, [$CC, $44]                 ' Start temperature conversion
OWOUT DQ, 1, [$CC, $BE]                 ' Read the temperature
OWIN DQ, 0, [temperature.LOWBYTE, temperature.HIGHBYTE]
GIE = 1
temperature = temperature */ 1600 

lcdout $FE,$D4+0,"TEMP ",dec(temperature / 100),$DF,"C"

What I would like to do is detect if the sensor is connected or not, and if it's not present to simply display "N/C" in place of the temperature

Any suggestions

Each device has it's unique serial number, you could try read it or write something in the scratch pad (just once) and try read it back.

From the manual, the OWIN command...

If a device is not present, OWIN can jump to an optional Label.

You should be able to just use the Label function of the OWIN command to have your program jump to a routine that displays "N/C"

'Get and display the temperature
GIE = 0
OWOUT DQ, 1, [$CC, $44]                 ' Start temperature conversion
OWOUT DQ, 1, [$CC, $BE]                 ' Read the temperature
OWIN DQ, 0, [temperature.LOWBYTE, temperature.HIGHBYTE], NoDevice
GIE = 1
temperature = temperature */ 1600 

lcdout $FE,$D4+0,"TEMP ",dec(temperature / 100),$DF,"C"

NoDevice:
lcdout $FE,$D4+0,"No One Wire Device Detected"
GOTO main

Thanks for the replies.

Dwight, I tried your example, but all that happened was a mixture of the text on line 4 of the LCD. I'll keep experimenting maybe taking the NoDevice a gosub rather than goto... But thanks for putting me on the right track

I'm sure you would get a better result if you actually waited for the ds18b20 to perform the measurement

'Get and display the temperature
GIE = 0
OWOUT DQ, 1, [$CC, $44]                 ' Start temperature conversion
pause 800

OWOUT DQ, 1, [$CC, $BE]                 ' Read the temperature
OWIN DQ, 0, [temperature.LOWBYTE, temperature.HIGHBYTE]
GIE = 1
temperature = temperature */ 1600 

lcdout $FE,$D4+0,"TEMP ",dec(temperature / 100),$DF,"C"

Cheers Richard,

I stumbled across a PDF on one wire devices from Microchip, and it suggested the following

OW_reset_pulse
Describes 1-Wire protocol to generate Reset pulse to detect the presence of the 1-Wire slave device.
Syntax
unsigned char OW_reset_pulse(void)
Parameters
None
Return Values
Return ‘
0
’ if the slave device presence pulse is detected, return ‘
1
’ otherwise.
Precondition
None
Side Effects
None
Example
// OW_reset_pulse function return the presence pulse from the slave device
if (!OW_reset_pulse())
return HIGH; // Slave Device is detected
else
return LOW; // Slave Device is not detected

But this uses ASM, so I'll do some further reading on PBP to see if this can be done in basic rather than ASM
