Dear forum,

I'm new to arduino and this is my first topic here.

I have question about dallas 1-wire temperature sensors. I have code where i am reading 4 this DS1820 chips and displaying valuses with time stamps on serial monitor and lcd and also i am logging these data to SD card.
Everithing works OK mainly thanks to all great guys from several forums. Many thanks to them.

My only problem is that when i get temperature from DS1820 it is in format 19.25°C but i need 19,25°C. So i need decimal separator with comma not a dot ! ! !
Is this possible to fix this i my code or library, I need this because the other program I am using to analyze these data. And i trully need t fix this, so please guys hep me 




Here is the coede:

    #define ONE_WIRE_BUS 9
    OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
    DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

// Assign the addresses of your 1-Wire temp sensors.

Looks like you can "hack" your library files if you wish.  If that's what you do, start by copying the "official" version to the libraries folder in your sketch storage area.  Or you could drop down a level and get the raw data from the chips.  I don't know any thing about the library, never used it so I'd just get the info from the sensor and format it the way I wanted it to look.

Don't post code without code tags!

What you are looking for is in the Print.cpp file (hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/Print.cpp) at line 255:

Code:

    n += print(".");

change that to

Code:

    n += print(",");

and all your float get a comma instead of the decimal point.

WOW

Thanks a lot pylon, that is the solution which i needed :-)
Thanks a lot again
