1-wire library on Digx
« on: January 01, 2014, 11:59:51 am »
Hi, just received my Digx with level shifter board - it looks very capable. My primary focus is on 1-wire sensors, is there any info anywhere about using Digx with 1-wire, can't seem to find anything.

Tks, AB

Hi Adalricus, thanks for the links. I was wondering if you have actually had these working with the new Digx?

The DigiX addons has a working one wire library - see the temperature sensor example DigiX Beta Bonus -> Bonus Temp

Hi, so I installed everything and uploaded the DS1xS20_temperature sketch into the digx. It doesn't work, so I'm wondering why. The serial monitor just keeps displaying 'no more addresses' so I know the script is running.

I had it working on a Yun using 5v, but I hooked it up to the 3.3v supply on the Digx. Does anybody know if I still need to use the 4.7k resistor if using 3.3 instead of 5v? Will I blow something if I use 5v supply?

Tks, A

Try the included  DigiX Beta Bonus -> Bonus Temp example as I mentioned before - with the sensor on pin 8 (or any pin, just adjust ds(8) line) powered by 3.3v with a 4.7k between 3.3v and the data pin. That has worked for me many times.

Hi, works fine, thanks. Didn't realize it was a double header and had the wire connected to the outer port. Duoh. Too much I/O for me. :)

Regards, A

Hi, so I have run the Bonus Temp example with 3 temp sensors plugged in with short wires on a breadboard. I'm running into the same problem I had with the Yun in that the sketch will run for perhaps 6 or 7 hours, then just stop. Any ideas?

Tks, A

I imagine the OneWire library has a timer/variable in it or similar that is overflowing - in what way does it stop - no more output to serial? or just can't find the sensors?

the serial monitor stops and the board has to have the sketch uploaded again to restart,cold boot won't do it ...

Hi, so I started another test yesterday afternoon and let it run all night, and it was still running this morning, so perhaps all is ok. I'll continue to monitor it.
