DS18B20 and Particle Core

Getting Started
42

In the top right hand corner of the WebIDE is a + sign you can use to add files to your project.

Click that + sign, name it DS18B20 (it will set the name of the .h and .cpp files) paste the contents of the .h file from here ([DS18B20 lib][1] into the first tab, the contents of DS18B20.cpp going into the .cpp tab that was created when you clicked the + sign.

The OneWire lib in the WebIDE is different than the one on @krvarma’s GitHub, but looks to have all of the same functions and more, maybe use that one. There is also a DS18X20 “lib” in the WebIDE but it is really just OneWire with an example that is written for the DS18X20 chips, @krvarma wrapped that example code into a lib so it is easy to consume making it more user friendly and keeps the main app cleaner.

Thank you for your help @LukeUSMC. I have been working with Arduino and Spark or Particle (WebIDE) is new to me.

Ok, I uploaded your code. For far I have the following in cloud:

value -0.06 is published every minute or so…

Check your pin assignments and look at the serial output. Does it show a temp there?

Besides not getting accurate temp data, did it stay online or continue to bounce off and on?

I’ll look into this further this weekend, but it did bounce back and forth hanging “off cloud” for considerable time

Ok, there is still a long term delays publishing variable(s) with Particle Core. The same code runs no problem on Particle Photon. So I suspect now there is an issue with the Core (either CC3000 or defective Core).
