Python Language IoT Programming with Python and Raspberry PI Example - Temperature sensor
Example
Interfacing of DS18B20 with Raspberry pi
Connection of DS18B20 with Raspberry pi
You can see there are three terminal
- Vcc
- Gnd
- Data (One wire protocol)
R1 is 4.7k ohm resistance for pulling up the voltage level
- Vcc should be connected to any of the 5v or 3.3v pins of Raspberry pi (PIN : 01, 02, 04, 17).
- Gnd should be connected to any of the Gnd pins of Raspberry pi (PIN : 06, 09, 14, 20, 25).
- DATA should be connected to (PIN : 07)
Enabling the one-wire interface from the RPi side
-
Login to Raspberry pi using putty or any other linux/unix terminal.
-
After login, open the /boot/config.txt file in your favourite browser.
nano /boot/config.txt
-
Now add the this line
dtoverlay=w1–gpioto the end of the file. -
Now reboot the Raspberry pi
sudo reboot. -
Log in to Raspberry pi, and run
sudo modprobe g1-gpio -
Then run
sudo modprobe w1-therm -
Now go to the directory /sys/bus/w1/devices
cd /sys/bus/w1/devices -
Now you will found out a virtual directory created of your temperature sensor starting from 28-********.
-
Go to this directory
cd 28-******** -
Now there is a file name w1-slave, This file contains the temperature and other information like CRC.
cat w1-slave.
Now write a module in python to read the temperature
import glob
import time
RATE = 30
sensor_dirs = glob.glob("/sys/bus/w1/devices/28*")
if len(sensor_dirs) != 0:
while True:
time.sleep(RATE)
for directories in sensor_dirs:
temperature_file = open(directories + "/w1_slave")
# Reading the files
text = temperature_file.read()
temperature_file.close()
# Split the text with new lines (\n) and select the second line.
second_line = text.split("\n")[1]
# Split the line into words, and select the 10th word
temperature_data = second_line.split(" ")[9]
# We will read after ignoring first two character.
temperature = float(temperature_data[2:])
# Now normalise the temperature by dividing 1000.
temperature = temperature / 1000
print 'Address : '+str(directories.split('/')[-1])+', Temperature : '+str(temperature)
Above python module will print the temperature vs address for infinite time. RATE parameter is defined to change or adjust the frequency of temperature query from the sensor.
