Is it possible to read sensor values from more than one 1-wire devices (DS18B20) on the same bus? Has anyone done that?
In http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4741&KW =Onewire there's example code and Iandaus suggests/mentions that this is possible? How?

Thanks

Thierry

Er... this is a good time to read about 1-wire and google's really good for finding stuff :)

It matters how you power them but do some reading and see.

Oh, I did google on this and indeed found that it is possible and how to wire that.
Problem is that I have not found ways of addressing multiple devices with MMBasic, other than searching for them and finding that they are connected on the 1-wire bus.
Sorry, perhaps I should have clearly stated that I wanted to do this in MMBasic.

I haven't tested 1-wire devices on the Maximite, although I am very familiar with them.

OWWRITE lets you select a Maximite pin and send data down that pin. If there is only a single 1-wire device on that line, then you don't need to specifically address that device using the device serial number. If there are multiple devices on that line, then to select a specific device you have to address that device using the device serial number.

' Reset device (flag = 1) on pin 3
' Write 2 bytes "SkipRom" (&hCC) and "Read Scratchpad" (&HBE)

OWWRITE 3, 1, 2, &HCC, &HBE

' DS18B20 read 2 bytes of temperature

OWREAD 3, 0, 2, byte1, byte2

This single device example is from memory, so I hope I get it right.

For multiple devices either you have to search to get the serial numbers for all of the devices on the Maximite pin, or do what I do and temporarily hook them to one pin to get their serial numbers. Then hardcode the serial numbers for each device when they are all on one Maximite pin.

Check out the 1-wire documentation for your specific device for the commands that you would use INSTEAD of the 'skip ROM' command to address a device by serial number.

You do specifically read them 1 device at a time. Each one uniquely addressed by their own serial number.

hi

Are you short of I/O pins ?
If not why not use another pin with the next 1wire device on it.

I've done as advised and now have 3x DS1820 devices connected on same 1-Wire bus with one 4k7 pull-up resistor to Vcc=3.3V. No long wires yet, will add ~3m wires between MCU and each of the devices.

Forgive me for asking what is possibly obvious for you guys. I've used the previous piece of code in my current project. I'm going through it a line at a time as I have struggled to get my head fully around the whole 1-wire and DS18B20 saga

I've changed it a bit so far, getting rid of the array for sensor IDs and using DATA:READ. So far so good.

My question is..... can the hex constants be used in the following manner:

match_rom = &h55
OWWrite Pin,8,9,match_rom,aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff,gg,hh

I'm assuming so, but this stuff fries my brain. I wish I did this sort of thing for a living hey.

Also, what are the differences between the various flavours of DS18x20 sensors? I intend to optimise the code as I only use the 18B version (and only have the 18B datasheet) and don't need to test for other types.

Thanks everyone

Using match_rom should be OK.

Sorry, I've only used the B variant (not from MMBasic) so can't help with the variants.

I've been messing around with the 1-wire DS18B20 temperature sensors and have come up with the following code that suits my particular application better than the generic code that has been posted on the forum. This is more suitable for multiple sensors on a single bus, the more sensors, the more time will be saved if all devices are instructed to perform a conversion simultaneously. The only drawback that I see is that you can't test for completion, only wait the maximum time (plus a little longer).

This is tested and is working on my setup. If anyone else tries it and finds a problem please let me know

Interestingly, replacing the hex constants with easier (IMHO) to follow variable names worked perfectly with the exception of &hbe scratchpad read. I got the error "Variable not a one dimensional numeric array or a string". Thoughts anyone?

I hope someone finds this useful.
