Hi all,
It is great to be able to just use the readtemp12 routine to read the 12 bit temperature from a DS18B20.
Now, when I've pushed the cable length beyond the 10M mark and it is an electrically noisy environments, sometimes the results which come back are clearly wrong, but conceptually, sometimes the errors would be more subtle e.g. 1 or 2 bits.
As far as I know there is no indication of CRC failure with the PICaxe routines (which would show if a single bit had been corrupted) - I would be happy to be proved wrong on this though?!
Cheers.
