==Basic Device Operation==
 +
The core functionality of the DS18B20 is its direct-to-digital temperature sensor. The resolution of the DS18B20 is configurable (9, 10, 11, or 12 bits), with 12-bit readings the factory default state. This
 +
equates to a temperature resolution of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, or 0.0625°C. Following the issuance of the Convert T [44h] command, a temperature conversion is performed and the thermal data is stored in the scratchpad memory in a 16-bit, sign-extended two’s complement format. The temperature information can be retrieved over the 1-Wire interface by issuing a Read Scratchpad [BEh] command once the conversion has been performed. The data is transferred over the 1-Wire bus, LSB first. The MSB of the temperature register contains the “sign” (S) bit, denoting whether the temperature is positive or negative.

===Connect to NanoPi M2 / NanoPi 2 Fire===
DS18B20低温度系数晶振的振荡频率受温度影响很小,用于产生固定频率的脉冲信号送给计数器1。高温度系数晶振随温度变化其振荡率明显改变,所产生的信号作为计数器2的脉冲输入。计数器1和温度寄存器被预置在-55℃所对应的一个基数值。计数器1对低温度系数晶振产生的脉冲信号进行减法计数,当计数器1的预置值减到0时,温度寄存器的值将加1,计数器1的预置将重新被装入,计数器1重新开始对低温度系数晶振产生的脉冲信号进行计数,如此循环直到计数器2计数到0时,停止温度寄存器值的累加,此时温度寄存器中的数值即为所测温度。

==Compile & Run Test Program==
 +
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
 +
 
 +
Compile and install Matrix:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

1 Introduction

Temperature Sensor
  • The matrix-temperature_sensor module is used to measure temperature.
  • We utilitze the DS18B20 chip with the To-92 package in this module. Its unique 1-wire interface requires only 1 port pin for reading/writing. Power for reading, writing, and performing temperature conversions can be derived from the data line itself with no need for an external power source. The DS18B20 can be powered from its data line. Each DS18B20 is assigned a unique ID.
  • Its temperature range is -55 degree Celsius to +125 degree Celsius. The thermometer resolution is programmable from 9 to 12 bits. When the measured temperature is between -10 degree Celsius to +85 degree Celsius the accuracy can be at 0.5 degree. Among all three DS18B20 pins V is power, G is ground and S is data.

2 Features

  • -55 degree Celsius to +125 degree Celsius
  • One wire interface for communication
  • Tiny, easy to be deployed in various situations

3 Basic Device Operation

The core functionality of the DS18B20 is its direct-to-digital temperature sensor. The resolution of the DS18B20 is configurable (9, 10, 11, or 12 bits), with 12-bit readings the factory default state. This equates to a temperature resolution of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, or 0.0625°C. Following the issuance of the Convert T [44h] command, a temperature conversion is performed and the thermal data is stored in the scratchpad memory in a 16-bit, sign-extended two’s complement format. The temperature information can be retrieved over the 1-Wire interface by issuing a Read Scratchpad [BEh] command once the conversion has been performed. The data is transferred over the 1-Wire bus, LSB first. The MSB of the temperature register contains the “sign” (S) bit, denoting whether the temperature is positive or negative.

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix:

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program:

$ matrix-temp_sensor

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

The temperature is 27.312 C

The module successfully read the environment's temperature.

6 Code Sample

This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-temperature_sensor". Here is its source code:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    char temperature[BUF_SIZE], modStr[BUF_SIZE];
    int board;
    int pin=GPIO_PIN(7);
 
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
    if (board == BOARD_NANOPI_T2)
        pin = GPIO_PIN(15);
 
    if (argc == 2)
        pin = atoi(argv[1]);
    sprintf(modStr, "modprobe %s gpio=%d", TEMP_GPIO_DRIVER_MODULE, pintoGPIO(pin));
    printf("%s\n", modStr);
    system(modStr);
    system("modprobe "TEMP_DRIVER_MODULE);
    sleep(1);
    memset(temperature, 0, BUF_SIZE);
    if (ds18b20Read(temperature) > 0) {
        printf("The temperature is %.3f C\n", atoi(temperature)/1000.0);
    } else {
        printf("Fail to get temperature\n");        
    }
    system("rmmod "TEMP_GPIO_DRIVER_MODULE);
    system("rmmod "TEMP_DRIVER_MODULE);
    return 0;
}
