DS18B20 Module

Since	Origin / Contributor	Maintainer	Source
2017-06-11	fetchbot	fetchbot	ds18b20.c

This module provides access to the DS18B20 1-Wire digital thermometer.

Deprecation Notice

Note that NodeMCU offers both a C module (this one) and a Lua module for this sensor. The C implementation is deprecated and will be removed soon; please transition to Lua code.

ds18b20.read()

Issues a temperature conversion of all connected sensors on the onewire bus and returns the measurment results after a conversion delay in a callback function. The returned measurements can be filtered through the ROM addresses passed as a table or by the family type. The callback function gets invoked for every specified sensor.

Syntax

ds18b20.read(CALLBACK, ROM[, FAMILY_ADDRESS])

Parameters

• CALLBACK callback function executed for each sensor
  • e.g. function(INDEX, ROM, RES, TEMP, TEMP_DEC, PAR) print(INDEX, ROM, RES, TEMP, TEMP_DEC, PAR) end
• ROM table which contains the addresses for the specified sensors, or left empty to perform a onewire bus search for all sensors
  • e.g. {"28:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF","28:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"}, {}
• FAMILY_ADDRESS optional to limit the search for devices to a specific family type
  • e.g 0x28

Returns

nil

Callback function parameters

• INDEX index of the sensor on the bus
• ROM sensors 64-bit lasered rom code
  • 28:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF LSB, 8-bit family code, 48-bit serial number, MSB 8-bit crc
• RES temperature resolution
• TEMP temperature
• TEMP_DEC temperature decimals for integer firmware
• PAR sensor parasitic flag

!!! note

If using float firmware then `temp` is a floating point number. On an integer firmware, the final value has to be concatenated from `temp` and `temp_dec`.

Example

local ow_pin = 3
ds18b20.setup(ow_pin)

-- read all sensors and print all measurement results
ds18b20.read(
	function(ind,rom,res,temp,tdec,par)
		print(ind,string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")),res,temp,tdec,par)
	end,{});

-- read only sensors with family type 0x28 and print all measurement results
ds18b20.read(
	function(ind,rom,res,temp,tdec,par)
		print(ind,string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")),res,temp,tdec,par)
	end,{},0x28);

-- save device roms in a variable
local addr = {}
ds18b20.read(
	function(ind,rom,res,temp,tdec,par)
		addr[ind] = {string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)"))}
	end,{});

-- read only sensors listed in the variable addr
ds18b20.read(
	function(ind,rom,res,temp,tdec,par)
		print(ind,string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")),res,temp,tdec,par)
	end,addr);

-- print only parasitic sensors
ds18b20.read(
	function(ind,rom,res,temp,tdec,par)
		if (par == 1) then
			print(ind,string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")),res,temp,tdec,par)
		end
	end,{});

-- print if temperature is greater or less than a defined value
ds18b20.read(
	function(ind,rom,res,temp,tdec,par)
		if (t > 25) then
			print(ind,string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")),res,temp,tdec,par)
		end
		if (t < 20) then
			print(ind,string.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",string.match(rom,"(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")),res,temp,tdec,par)
		end
	end,{});
