Experiment No. 4 : Reading Temperature Values from DS1820 using 1-Wire Protocol

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.

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

  2. 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,

  3. 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;
    }

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

  6. 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

  11. hello;
    I'm working on a development board where the peak and the LCD are already connected together, I have to connect the sensor SRF02 as extention, but when I run C code on the LCD I get a funny message! and I don't know whence the error!

  13. hi great project. But I have a problem... Im using ds1821c+ and the display shows 000.050 C, and I already changed 600ms to 800 and nothing happed.Any ideas?thank in advance for ypur help

  14. Can you translate to hex file ?

  15. hi it´s a great project,but does the pin 1 of the sensor needs to be grounded?
    Or can be cutted?

    thanks in advance

Contact less tachometer using PIC16F628A

Introduction Tachometer is a device that gives you the information about the rotational speed of any shaft or disc. It usually measures the speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Today we are going to make a simple tachometer that could measure the rotation speed of a disk without making any physical contact (that's why it is contact less) with the rotating object. The range of this tachometer is 0 - 9999 RPM and displays the RPM on a multiplexed 4-digit seven-segment display. Of course, we are going to do this project on our usual PIC16F628A development board. Infrared sensor Contact-less measurement of RPM will be achieved through an IR sensor. An IR diode will send a beam of infrared towards the rotating disc, and any reflected pulse will be received by a photo diode. The resistance of a photo diode drops drastically when exposed to infrared. An infrared is reflected by a white surface and absorbed by the dark ones. The test disc for this project is shown below. You can see

Experiment No. 2 : Push Button and Seven Segment Display Interface

In this experiment, we will program the PIC16F628A as an UP/DOWN Decade Counter. The count value will be displayed on a Seven-Segment Display and will be incremented/decremented by two push buttons on the board. Experimental Setup: The board has built in interface for a multiplexed 4-digit seven segment display (HS-5461AS2 from www.futurlec.com ).We will select only one digit by connecting a Digit Select pin to Vcc, as shown in figure below. A black jumper wire is used for this purpose. The seven segments will be driven through PORTB (already wired on the board). Connect Push Buttons (PB3 and PB4) to RA1 and RA0 female headers using jumper wires.

PIC16F628A Development Board

The development board we are going to make for our experimental microcontroller PIC16F628A will look like this. Here are the features it is going to have: Access to all I/O pins through female header pins 4 Push Buttons for Input 4 LEDs for Output An LCD Interface Port A 4-digit Seven-Segment Display Interface LCD Backlight Switch and Contrast Adjustment ICSP Programming (Very Important)
