Connect DS18B20 to Grove Port A?

critter

Hi,

has anyone been able to connect a 1 wire ds18b20 waterproof temperature sensor to the m5stack grove connector A?
I see a + and a - port, and an SDA and an SCL port. Can either of those be used to one wire connections? And how would I do that in code?

Thank you so much!

I made custom block for uiflow for do this. But i implemented use only one sensor per gpio pin without checking crc errors (shorter and simplicity code).

and here is python code used in this custom block:

Try connect sensor to SDA pin in groove port, but you must find a number of gpio pin assigned for this line.
You also should connect a pullup resistor (2-10kohm) betwen sensor DQ pin and sensor Vcc. In my case i use ds18b20 without this resistor, but my connection to sensor is shorter than 10cm.

I've connected a DS1820 waterproof sensor to the Grove / Port A of the M5basic

GND=black
VCC=red
SDA=yellow

My code is :

#include <M5Stack.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

#define ONE_WIRE_BUS XX
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

void setup(){

M5.begin();
M5.Power.begin();

M5.Lcd.print("onewire temp test");
}

void loop() {
sensors.requestTemperatures();
String text = String(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0),2)+"C";
M5.Lcd.println(text);
delay(800);
M5.Lcd.println("test");
}

for XX, I've tried port 21,22,32,33 and a few other I read rumours about. No success to read the temperature so far. Any clue?

All right, to answer my own post :
This post helped a lot :

And XX is 21.

I am happy to read that the post was helpful.
Which changes did you apply to make it work?
