Hi All, I built the system using 13 DS1820s. Been working fine until yesterday when 6 sensors quit displaying temperature. They were the last 6 on the line. I figured it was probably an open circuit. Bypassing the connection didn't solve the problem. Long story short, one of the sensor drops...

You probably already know this, but for others, If you use the DS2438 circuit shown it needs at least 7 or 8 volts from the solar panel or it won't operate properly. (dependent on R7) If your charging a battery with the solar panel, maybe get the Vdd from the battery and monitor the solar...

I've had the Lampomittari software running for about 2-1/2 weeks now. I'm happy with it's operation, I can quickly verify if any of my 13 freezers are over a set high temp alarm. As a freezer is emptied I move it's number to the empty freezer group, empty freezers are off so the over temp...

I may end up with a master hub at sometime, future plans are some greenhouse sensors and I hope to put up a couple of solar collectors and I would like to monitor the temps during testing. I may have done overkill with my RJ45 connectors, the cat5 and the splitters, but now that it's done, I'm...

I didn't post any links, I just refered to the previous threads. I thought they would be easy to find, but here are the proper links. "RJ-45 junctions, 3 female connectors " http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=12041 "Lampomittari software that I ask for help with in another thread."...

Hi all, I finally completed the first part of my 1 wire system. I have 13 DS18S20s connected to a DS9097U. I used the splitters that I mentioned and showed how I modified in the thread titled "RJ-45 junctions, 3 female connectors " I'm using the Lampomittari software that I ask for help with...

Mike How do you reset an alarm after it has had an over temperature event? Mike In answer to my own question, it looks like if you wait a few cycles it will reset itself. Mike

How do you reset an alarm after it has had an over temperature event? Mike

Hey Christer, Glad to see you had progress! I'll try again tonight, maybe I didn't wait long enough for it to respond. I thought I could use paint and make a bitmap of a meter, I didn't have any luck getting it to display. Mike

Disclaimer; I'm as lost as anyone and had help getting as far as I have. Here's what I have done, but I don't know what parts are important to the analog displays. First, create a file. I made a file called C:\tempdata\ Now open Lampomattari and click on the wrench/screwdriver. This opens the...

Mike, do you have pictures of the inside, after your jumpers? What is the pinout now? Thanks, Rob This is with pcb separated from case, I pulled the pcb out with a pair of needlenose pliers. For some reason this one was particularly difficult, thus the scratches on the pcb. This shows the...

Mike, do you have pictures of the inside, after your jumpers? What is the pinout now? Thanks, Rob I didn't take any pictures, maybe next time I modify a group I'll get pictures. I used pins 7 and 8 for one pair and 6 and 3 for the other pair. Mike I used two knives to open splitter case...

I removed images. Thanks, that moved me ahead. I don't know what to put in the Background image and Mask image. I used the bitmaps in the readme file but the needle I created doesn't appear in the bitmap. I don't know if I'm supposed to create my own bitmap, and how do I get my needle to...

Hi christerm, Hope you got a good nights sleep. I don't know anything about TSa or where to find it. Is it part of Lampomittari or a separate download. I really appreciate your help on this, I think this program will display just what I need. I have 13 sensors I want to display...

Hi Guys, I have the Lampomittari software reading temps on the digital display part, however I cannot figure out how to make the analog displays work. I can get the window to display (or 5 windows, one for each sensor) but nothing is in the window. Any help? Mike
