Function Documentation

◆ getTemp()

int getTemp ( oneWireDevice_t *const tempSensor )

Get temperature.

This function tries a new measurement on the 1-wire temperature sensor provided. On success the new value is returned. On failure the last good value is returned, but at most 7 times after 7 or more good readings before. On total failure -99900 (-99.9 °C, 0 K, BAD_TEMP_READ ) is returned.

Additionally on temperature changes, the integer reading (.value) and the floating point string (valueGrdC[]) will be set in the structure.

Parameters

tempSensor pointer to the sensor's structure

Returns: the actual or last reading or -2721500 if no good / not enough past good readings

◆ initTempSensor()

void initTempSensor	(	oneWireDevice_t *const	tempSensor,
		char const *const	name,
		char const *const	valueFile )

Initialise a 1-wire sensor structure.

This function does basic initial settings for a 1-wire temperature sensor. tempSensor.name and tempSensor.valueFile are set by the respective parameters.
The temperature values are set to bad value; see BAD_TEMP_READ .

Parameters

tempSensor	pointer to the sensor's structure (never NULL!)
name	the sensor's short name or its directory name; NULL / empty: no change
valueFile	the canonical absolute path to its value file; NULL / empty: no change
