DS1821

Arduino library for DS1821 temperature sensor (experimental).

Description

The DS1821 is a temperature sensor that uses the oneWire protocol. This library supports one sensor per pin. As this library is tested minimally please consider it experimental.

The sensor is hard to get however still available on the Internet.

Interface (temperature sensor)

#include "DS1821.h"

The interface of the library is an async interface so there are no blocking calls.

The return value DS1821_RESET_ERROR == -999 means that the oneWire bus failed to reset.

• DS1821(OneWire* ow) initializes the library with a reference to a oneWire object.
  See examples.
• int requestTemperature() this call will trigger a conversion of temperature, however it does not read the temperature. May return DS1821_RESET_ERROR.
• int requestContinuous()
• int stopContinuous()
• int conversionReady() when the conversion is ready it returns 1, else 0.
  May return DS1821_RESET_ERROR
• float readTemperature() when conversion is ready, one can fetch the temperature.
  May return DS1821_RESET_ERROR
• int error() read the last error.

The low / high functions can be used to monitor if a threshold has been exceeded between reads of the temperature.

• int setLow(int8_t lo) set low (OFF) threshold temperature.
• int getLow() read back from configuration.
• int setHigh(int8_t hi) set high (ON) threshold temperature.
• int getHigh() read back from configuration.
• int getHighFlag() flag is set if temperature has exceeded high threshold.
• int clrHighFlag() reset the high threshold flag.
• int getLowFlag() flag is set if temperature has exceeded low threshold.
• int clrLowFlag() reset the low threshold flag.

Interface (thermostat)

Please read datasheet.

The DS1821 can be setup as a stand-alone thermostat with a high level and low level. In this mode the DS1821 uses the DQ pin to switch a device ON when the high level is exceeded and switches OFF when the low level is reached. This prevents too frequent toggling which would happen if only one temperature was used. To configure the thermostat mode please check the example.

The library provides the following functions for configuring the Thermostat mode

• int setOneWireMode(uint8_t VDD, uint8_t DQ) This function puts a DS1821 in Thermostat mode back into oneWire mode. DQ must be the same as oneWire(pin). VDD is the voltage controlling pin of the sensor.
• int setThermostatMode() sets the flag in the config register to start in Thermostat mode next restart.

The polarity functions are also available in temperature sensor mode, however they have no effect in that mode.

• int setPolarity(int activeState) When in thermostat mode the DQ pin controls e.g. a fan or a motor. ActivState defines which value is ON and OFF.
• int getPolarity() reads back polarity from the device.

The Low / High values set in sensor mode gives the DS1821 the thresholds to toggle the DQ line in the thermostat mode.

Operation

See examples.

Future

Must

• update documentation

Should

Could

Wont

• updates only on request
• Get new sensors to test test test...
• merge clrLowFlag() into getLowFlag() ? high idem?
