I’m trying to get temperature measurements out from a DS18B20 sensor. The code I use is taken from this website: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/ds18b20-arduino and I have the exact same coupling.
This is the code I use:
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
// Data wire is plugged into pin 2 on the Arduino
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 2
// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices
// (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
void setup(void)
{
// start serial port
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println(“Dallas Temperature IC Control Library Demo”);
// Start up the library
sensors.begin();
}
void loop(void)
{
// call sensors.requestTemperatures() to issue a global temperature
// request to all devices on the bus
Serial.print(" Requesting temperatures…");
sensors.requestTemperatures(); // Send the command to get temperatures
Serial.println(“DONE”);
Serial.print("Temperature for Device 1 is: ");
Serial.print(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0)); // Why “byIndex”?
// You can have more than one IC on the same bus.
// 0 refers to the first IC on the wire
}
The output I get from this is -127 degrees C. If I remember right the arduino doesn’t even communicate with the sensor when you get this output?
Anyway, does anybody know how whats wrong and how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!
