Does DS18B20 1-wire work on the original Omega?



  • Following this tutorial using the original Omega and Vktech DS18b20 Waterproof Temperature Sensors

    Have a 4.7k pullup resistor between the data wire and the 3.3V rail; using pin 14 on the power dock.

    I'm just seeing the phantom IDs, not one that looks to be in the correct format.

    Shouldn't this work?

  • Ok seems to work if I use pin 1 on the power dock to connect the data line.

    There may be restrictions on which pins you can use as GPIOs; this gave a hint:
    https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/expansion-dock.html

    By default, the Serial, SPI, and I2C pins implement these communication protocols and cannot be used as GPIOs. Similarly, the I2S and PWM pins are set to GPIO mode by default.

    So I see on the expansion header (different pinout than the power dock) that pins 0 and 1 are associated with I2S so I used pin 1 and that was successful.
