    Support of chipkit max32 board

    Hello Greig,

    I have a chipkit max32 board and would like to connect this board to HS3.
    The latest rev http://www.chipkit.net/started is here.
    I tested this version but its sees not to connect to hs3.

    The newer do not support chipkit 32-bit boards.
    Is it possible to use this board?

    Regards piever. Netherland

        Update help file for pinouts

        There are different configurations for the pinouts depending on USB, ethernet Mega or UNO. It's taken me some time find what is needed selecting inputs or outputs in the board setup to get it working depending on my set up analog or digital. It would be good reference to update the help file reflecting these differences. Great plugin always works as advertised, much to learn but satisfaction is guaranteed.

          Error trapping on 1-wire temperature measurments

          Hi Greig,

          I've used Arduinos in the past to measure temperature on multiple one-wire sensors and I'm aware of the limitations of "bit banging" with a single output (as distinct from using a more sophisticated active pull-up).

          As it is, I've got three temperature sensors on a cat 5 cable that's about 15 meters long and I've got it *almost* working perfectly. By that, I mean that I can measure temperatures every 6 minutes and only get about 1 or 2 measurements per day that show up as 9999999.

          So, my question is: can these erroneous readings be trapped and handled sensibly somehow? I expect it could all be done in a script, but it seems more appropriate for it to be handled close to the sensor, such as in the plug-in. Perhaps this kind of reading could cause a warning to be written to the log, and the measurement re-tried?

          Regards
          Doug

            Hello.

            Forse the long distance is necessary change the pull-up resistor. Put the 1 kohm resistor.

              Thanks for the suggestion. I have already tried many different resistance values, including as low as 1k. I've also tried a small resistor in series with the data pin, which I've found helpful with one wire before.

              I think the proper hardware solution is to use a "real" one-wire bus master with an active pull-up, but this is so close to working I think a simple software trap would do the trick.

              regards

                Give Greig some time. I'll bet he can figure out how to trap OneWire errors within the code.

                FWIW I have 4 DS18B20 sensors on a Cat 5 cable of about the same length, with a 2.2K pull-up and haven't seen an error. This is on a test board. For my production temperature sensors I use EDS OWServers because they are so darn reliable.

                  Doug what version are you running as there is code to trap bus errors in the beta. If you are running it then capture and send me a debug log so I can see what is going on.

                    I'm using 1.0.0.85. If the 1.0.0.95 Beta is compatible with the 1.0.0.85 Arduino sketches I'll install it right now, otherwise I'll have to wait until I'm next home.

                      It *should* be just fine. The 1.0.0.95 version uses V1.0.0.84 sketches.

                          Doug,

                          I will need to check the code when I get home but looking at the log I think my plugin is reporting an error for your devices. If you look at the rom device that has the temp in it is the status value for error not "9999999" and what you are seeing is Jon00's plugin logging this value. I will confirm this when I have more time and also see if there is a way to stop this.

                            Hello Greig.
                            Today is happened the same error in the my system. Is 1 error to 3-4 hours. I have 1 DS18B20 (TO92 capsule ) with 8m CAT5 cable and 1 kohm resistor.

                              I can confirm that the "9999999" is the error value of my plugin so this is being handled by my plugin is showing on the device as an error. The problem is that you are graphing the value so it records the "9999999".

                                Hi Greig,
                                I'm a little confused by your reply. I think that's what I expected. The plug-in is detecting an error and so reports an unambiguously error-style of value. I think that behaviour makes sense.

                                What I'm wondering is if the plug-in could be enhanced to try again, if it detects an error condition like this.

                                For example, if it could be configured to "retry 3 times" on error, for example, then I think my system would work just fine. The errors are quite rare and are proving quite stubbornly difficult to track down and eliminate in hardware.

                                regards
                                Doug
