4 : Reading Temperature Values from DS1820 using 1-Wire

Protocol
Wednesday, September 30, 2009

In this experiment, we are going to build a digital temperature meter using DS1820 connected to
our PIC16F628A development board. The temperature value will be displayed on the LCD
display. I have modified the sample program that comes with the compiler according to our PIC
board requirements. Also I have elaborated comments in the program so that every step will be
more clear to the readers.

Experimental Setup:
The experimental setup is very straight-forward. Place DS1820 device on the three-pin female
header that we recently added to our board. And also connect the data pin of DS1820 to RB.0 pin
of PIC16F628A using a jumper wire.

Software:
Here is the program written in microC that reads temperature values from DS1820 device using
OneWire Library.

* Description:
This code demonstrates how to use One Wire Communication Protocol
between PIC16F628A and a 1-wire peripheral device. The peripheral
device used here is DS1820, digital temperature sensor.

// Then read Byte 1 from Scratchpad and shift 8 bit left and add the Byte 0
temp_value = (Ow_Read(&PORTB, 0) << 8) + temp_value;

//--- Format and display result on Lcd

Display_Temperature(temp_value);

} while (1);
}

Experimental Output:
The temperature reading will be displayed on the LCD screen and will be updated every 600ms.
Look at some snapshots below showing output.

 Hi mr Raj.
Do you have a single example with 7 segments displays?
Tanks.

Hello Mr. Raj i have been testes both version of temperature sensor (DS1820 and
DS18B20) and i found a little bug, in both version cannot display symbol "-" when read a
negative temperature.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
I try to solve the problem by myself, with no results.
By the way you did a great gob with this site.

Regards,
ducu

My code should work to display negative temperature too. Negative temperature are in
2's complement form, see my code
// check if temperature is negative
if (temp2write & 0x8000) {
temp[0] = '-';
// Negative temp values are stored in 2's complement form
temp2write = ~temp2write + 1;
}

Dear Sir,
I used DS18S20. it did not works it shows 'Temperature:
000.00 C
no temperature detects. I use same code. whats wrong?

Try increasing the delay_ms(600) to delay_ms(800) and see if it works.

Ow_Write(&PORTB, 0, 0x44);
Delay_ms(800);
// If this delay is less than 500ms, you will see the first reading on

If LCD is 10 meters away from DS18S20 what kind of cable I have to used?
