I am working with the following sketch and would like to be able to not only show the current temperature but the lowest and highest temperatures for that day. Can this be done from within the sketch and if so how ?
// This Arduino sketch reads DS18B20 "1-Wire" digital
// temperature sensors.
// Tutorial:
// Arduino 1-Wire Tutorial
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
// Data wire is plugged into pin 3 on the Arduino
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 3
// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
// Assign the addresses of your 1-Wire temp sensors.
// See the tutorial on how to obtain these addresses:
// Arduino 1-Wire Address Finder
DeviceAddress insideThermometer = { 0x28, 0xEB, 0x34, 0x99, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x13 };
DeviceAddress outsideThermometer = { 0x28, 0x6B, 0xDF, 0xDF, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0xC0 };
DeviceAddress dogHouseThermometer = { 0x28, 0x59, 0xBE, 0xDF, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x9F };
void setup(void)
{
// start serial port
Serial.begin(9600);
// Start up the library
sensors.begin();
// set the resolution to 10 bit (good enough?)
sensors.setResolution(insideThermometer, 10);
sensors.setResolution(outsideThermometer, 10);
sensors.setResolution(dogHouseThermometer, 10);
}
void printTemperature(DeviceAddress deviceAddress)
{
float tempC = sensors.getTempC(deviceAddress);
if (tempC == -127.00) {
Serial.print("Error getting temperature");
} else {
Serial.print("C: ");
Serial.print(tempC);
Serial.print(" F: ");
Serial.print(DallasTemperature::toFahrenheit(tempC));
}
}
void loop(void)
{
Serial.print("5 Minute Delay between Readings..\n\r");
delay(300000);
Serial.print("Getting temperatures...\n\r");
sensors.requestTemperatures();
Serial.print("Inside temperature is: ");
printTemperature(insideThermometer);
Serial.print("\n\r");
Serial.print("Outside temperature is: ");
printTemperature(outsideThermometer);
Serial.print("\n\r");
Serial.print("Dog House temperature is: ");
printTemperature(dogHouseThermometer);
Serial.print("\n\r\n\r");
}
As you will see in the sketch, I have a 5 minute delay between each reading. There is no need for it to display the temperatures every few seconds.
