ESP8266 and DS18b20 sensor readings displayed on a web server

In this example we will connect a Wemos compatible DS18B20 shield to a Wemos Mini and display a page on a web server. This is a combination of our two examples that we have already created and uses 2 shields and a Wemos mini

DS18b20 example

and

Web server example

Parts

Here are the parts I used

 

Name Links
Wemos Mini
LM35
Connecting cables

 

Code

You will need to add the one wire library via the IDE -> library manager.  Since I am using the shield and its set to D2 for the sensor that is what is set in the code, if you prefer to use a different standalone sensor and a different pin change the following line

OneWire ds(D2);

If copying and pasting is too much I’ve know created a githib repo  at – https://github.com/getelectronics/ESP8266learning/tree/master/wemos_ds18b20_server

 

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <OneWire.h>

const char* ssid = "username";
const char* password = "password";

OneWire  ds(D2);

  delay(10);

  // Connect to WiFi network
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
 
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
 
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");
 
  // Start the server
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("Server started");
 
  // Print the IP address
  Serial.print("Use this URL : ");
  Serial.print("http://");
  Serial.print(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.println("/");

void loop()

  Serial.println("new client");
  while(!client.available()){
    delay(1);
  }

  String request = client.readStringUntil('\r');
  Serial.println(request);
  client.flush();

  //now the DS18b20
  if ( !ds.search(addr)) 
  {
    ds.reset_search();
    delay(250);
    return;
  }
  
  if (OneWire::crc8(addr, 7) != addr[7])

      Serial.println("CRC is not valid!");
      return;

      return;

  ds.reset();
  ds.select(addr);
  ds.write(0x44, 1);        // start conversion, with parasite power on at the end  
  delay(1000);
  present = ds.reset();
  ds.select(addr);    
  ds.write(0xBE);         // Read Scratchpad

  for ( i = 0; i < 9; i++) 
  {           
    data[i] = ds.read();
  }

  // Convert the data to actual temperature
  int16_t raw = (data[1] << 8) | data[0];
  if (type_s) {
    raw = raw << 3; // 9 bit resolution default
    if (data[7] == 0x10) 
    {
      raw = (raw & 0xFFF0) + 12 - data[6];
    }
  } 
  else 
  {
    byte cfg = (data[4] & 0x60);
    if (cfg == 0x00) raw = raw & ~7;  // 9 bit resolution, 93.75 ms
    else if (cfg == 0x20) raw = raw & ~3; // 10 bit res, 187.5 ms
    else if (cfg == 0x40) raw = raw & ~1; // 11 bit res, 375 ms
    
  }

  celsius = (float)raw / 16.0;
  fahrenheit = celsius * 1.8 + 32.0;
 
  // Return the response
  client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
  client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
  client.println(""); //  do not forget this one
  client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
  client.println("<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5\">"); //refresh every 5 seconds
 

  client.println("<H3>DS18b20 temperature example</h3>");
  client.print("Temperature in Celsius = ");
  client.println(celsius);
  client.println("<br><br>");
  client.print("Temperature in Celsius = ");
  client.println(fahrenheit);
  client.println("</html>");
 
  delay(1);
  Serial.println("Client disconnected");
  Serial.println("");
 
}

 

 

 

Again open the serial monitor to find your IP address

wemos ip address
wemos ip address

 

Now navigate to the IP address in the browser and you should see something like this which refreshes every 5 seconds
