ds18x20

A wrapper module for reading values provided by DS18X20 temperature sensor.

Functions

ds18.x20.get_reading(data_pin, vcc_pin=None)

Returns temperature reading, for DATA pin. If vcc_pin is defined it will first power on sensors and it will power off sensors at the end.

from sensors import ds18x20

temperature = ds18x20.get_reading('P19')
  • params
    • data_pin: the input pin name where the sensor data is connected to.
    • vcc_pin: (optional) the pin that controls the power to the sensors.
  • returns
    • temperature: float number with temperature in Celsius
Library and Wrapper for DS18X20 sensor.
Extended Pycom's Example https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/blob/master/examples/DS18X20/onewire.py by adding a simple wrapper function
