Could You share code ?

I have can you not access them?

Oh , I'm blind a little, sorry.

Of course I have access them. Thanks for sharing code.

Can you post the circuit diagram. Is it just on p9 and p10? Which way are the pins on the ds18b20 connected to 9 and 10? Thanks. mbed is a cool device, but the documentation is sure thin.

Hi, You have to connect only one pin, no matter which. It's middle leg on DS. All information here : http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/DS18B20.pdf

I've now published  my dirty onewire code, which works ok with both DS18B20 and DS18S20 sensors and with external or parasite power.

Thanks......got it. Sorry, I should rtfm.

Hi Niall, I've trying to use your code on my DS18B20, and I can read the Family code = 0x28 Serial Number: 00:00:01:B7 CRC 0x2F But when reading Temperatures, i always get 85.0C, wich is the powerup temperature... What could be wrong? I connected Vdd to mbed VU = 5v, any other command seems to work except for CONVERT, Looking at your code I can't find any flaws there, I try writing to Scratchpad, but same problem remains... Any ideas?

When You connect DS18B20 in parasite power You need more time to convert (about 750ms) but as I remeber drivers don't work correctly. You have to try connect with power ( 3 linnes ) and check correct readings, should work.

Hi!

I've connected my DS1820 this way and it works:

DS1820/DS18S20 Temperature-sensor:

1 -> GND

2 (DQ) -> p23 and Pullup(4k7) -> 3V3(pin40)

3 -> 3V3(pin40)

PS: I use this library http://mbed.org/users/snatch59/programs/OneWireCRC/gpdz56

Maybe the type is the difference DS1820, DS18S20, DS18B20

The difference was, I had it connected to VU, 5V, now I change it to 3.3V,but still the same. I've tried a bunch of other libraries but end up with the same result. There's something wrong with the command CONVERSION but it's not timing. I believe my sensor is useless, I'm going to buy a new one and I'm sure it will work then. I even try changing Pull-up resistor from 4k7 to 3k3 But it didn't work.

The code works fine on my shiny new LPC11U24 mbed - only change necessary was to replace the the old mbed library with the latest one.

See: http://mbed.org/cookbook/Compiler-Error-35

I found that an external pullup was necessary - I used 4k7, per the DS18B20 datasheet.

 

Thank you very much. Works a treat.

Now I will have to study your code and learn something!

My ultimate aim is to generate a simple web server to access the reading from anywhere.

Niall Cooling, sorry but where did you put the code? i can't seem to find it

Hi All

 

Using OneWire Driver test program.

Having connected the DS18b20 with a 4.7k pullup resistor between the Vdd and DQ legs....all i get is "short circuit".

 

When I unplug the sensor and all the wires ... I get "short circuit".

the mbed is pushed into a bread board across a division.

Actually, even when not connected to anything -- no sensor, and not in the breadboard OneWire Driver test program

gives the same message -- "short circuit"

Suggestions?

 

Thanks for your help.
