ds18s20 reads incorectly

Tried This And Get Better Reading Only 6 Deg Low
However It Does Not Respond To Any Temperature Changes
Thanks

Ok, what DOES it put out for a temperature?

What happens if you heat it up, read the temperature, shut it off, put it in the freezer for a few minutes, take it out, power it up and read the temp right away?

Does Not Update Hold Sensor And Nothing Changes

Reloaded Several Programs And They Work However Still Get Low Tmp Reading

Dont Think Its A Hardware Problem Because It Works Perfectly In Mikroe

Guess I Could That But Have Better Luck With Pbp As For As Adding My Stuff

Hmmm....maybe 65.535? 65.535 F? 65.535 C ?
Ever think that maybe your input was all 1's? And that it might've just been coincidence that your temp's are about 30 degrees low depending on the temp of the room?

Try this, might help...

Hi, Cleaver

I suppose you work on an easyPic 4 or 5 ...

try this with sensor connected to PORTE2 and Pullup on porta.0 and 1.

After power on, type of sensor and ID is displayed.

press RA0 Button ( active low ! ) and you turn to thermo mode ( thermostat, in fact , see RA0 and RA.1 use ... )

Here is a couple of files for you to play with.

pbptc.txt is your program that correctly displays the temp C and changes when the temp changes. You will need to change the LCD port, I use an easypic5 and you are using a different port.

I also have a program for MikroB attached, again it is for the ep5 board.

Take a few minutes and look at how the temp is being read in both. Once you figure that out you will see where the problem is.

BTW the formula is from the DS18S20 datasheet.





In your Mikro file did you notice that the temp was calculated before it is converted?

if j2 = $FF then
tmp_sign = "-" ' temperature sign
j1= j1 or $FF ' complement of two
j1= j1 + $01
else
tmp_sign = "+"
end if
j2 = (j1 and $01) * 5 ' Get decimal value
j1 = j1 >> 1 ' Get temp value
j1 = ((j1*9/5)+32) 'Convert C to F

And in your PBP file nothing is calculated until after the conversion.

TEMP = ((TEMP*9/5)+32 )
Lcdout $fe, 1, dec (temp >> 1),".",dec(temp.0 * 5)," degrees C"

Good Luck!

Acetronics: May I play around with the thermostat program you posted?

Want To Thank All Of You For Your Help Been Great To Work With
Will Keep You Updated

Also Would Like To Look At The Pb Code For The Thermostat Program

If Not Giving Away Something

Again Thanks

Worked With Your Pbp And Your Right It Is Displaying The Correct C Temperature

Its Pb Math Thats Incorect

Any Ideas How ?

Also The Formula Temp = ((temp*1.8)+32) Gives Corect Answer But Wont Compile
On Pbp
