DS18S20 interfacing with pic and avr microcontroller

Microcontroller BoardsRead the temperature in PIC16F/18F Primer Board from temperature sensor ds1820. The PIC16F/18F Primer board uses the ADC pin for reading temperature from temperature sensor ds1820. The reading output is displayed into PC through UART.

PIC16F/18F Development Board

The PIC16F/18F Development Board is specifically designed to help students to master the required skills in the area of embedded systems. The kit is designed in such way that all the possible features of the microcontroller will be easily used by the students. The kit supports in system programming (ISP) which is done through USB port.

Microchip’s PIC (PIC16F877A), PIC16F/18F Development Kit is proposed to smooth the progress of developing and debugging of various designs encompassing of High speed 8-bit Microcontrollers.

Temperature Sensor

DS1820 is a temperature sensor which is small sensor. The output of sensor converted to digital that easy connecting with microcontroller.

Interfacing ds1820

Fig. 1 shows how to interface the ds1820 to microcontroller. As you can see the first pin is connected to GND, the third pin is connected to VCC & the second pin is connected to the Microcontroller. So when the temperature is sensing, it give the sensor reading to controller.

Interfacing ds1820 with PIC16F877A

We now want to read the temperature in PIC16F/18F Development Board from temperature sensor ds1820. The PIC16F/18F Development Board uses the ADC pin for reading temperature from temperature sensor ds1820. The reading output is displayed into PC through UART.

The 10 bit ADC used to read temperature. Basic clocking for the A/D converters is provided by the VPB clock. A programmable divider is included in each converter, to scale this clock to the 4.5 MHz (max) clock needed by the successive approximation process. A fully accurate conversion requires 11 of these clocks.

Source Code

The Interfacing ds1820 with PIC16F877A program is very simple and straight forward, that reading temperature from temperature sensor ds1820 and it display into PC through serial port.

To compile the above C code you need the Mplab software & Hi-Tech Compiler. They must be properly set up and a project with correct settings must be created in order to compile the code. To compile the above code, the C file must be added to the project.

In Mplab, you want to develop or debug the project without any hardware setup. You must compile the code for generating HEX file. In debugging Mode, you want to check the port output without Development Board.

The PICKIT2 software is used to download the hex file into your PIC16F/18F Development Board through USB port line.

Testing the ds1820 with PIC16F877A

Give +12V power supply to PIC16F/18F Development Board; the serial cable is connected between the controller and PC. Open the Hyper Terminal screen, select which port you are using and set the default settings. Now the screen should show the current temperature readings.

Bring a Hot soldering iron tip near the ds1820‘s pins, don’t touch it keep it 1 or 2mm away. The screen should update with the rising temperature. Now finally touch the pins of ds1820 with the tip of iron, the temperature should rise quickly. Keep it there until temperature rise to 80 degrees, and then remove the iron.

If any data is not coming in Hyper Terminal, then you just check the serial cable is working or not. Otherwise you just check the code with debugging mode in Mplab. If you want to see more details just see the videos in below link.
