GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear Customer,
- Thank you for choosing our product. In the following, we will show you what to consider during commissioning and use.
- Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please feel free to contact us.
ANSCHLUSSBELEGUNG
- The LK-Temp2 temperature sensor is connected directly to digital port no. 4 of the LinkerKit module, as shown in the illustration.
- Alternatively, the sensor can also be connected directly to your Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The pin assignment can be seen in the following figure:
USAGE WITH THE RASPBERRY PI
- For use with the Raspberry Pi, it is first necessary to enable the One-Wire interface on the corresponding GPIO pin.
- For this, open a terminal window and edit your config.txt file with the following command:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
- Add the following line to the end of the file:
dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4
- Now save the file with the key combination CTRL+O, confirm with Enter, and then close the editor with the combination CTRL+X. No,w restart your Raspberry Pi with the following command:
sudo reboot
- Now that you have connected the sensor to your Raspberry Pi, you can create the corresponding program file. Start a new terminal window on your Raspberry Pi and enter the following command:
sudo nano LK-Temp2.py
- Now insert the following program code here:
- Now save the file with the key combination CTRL+O, confirm with Enter and then exit the editor with the combination CTRL+X.
- Alternatively, you can download the program file here and copy it manually to your Raspberry Pi.
- Now you can execute the file with the following command:
sudo python3 LK-Temp2.py
USAGE WITH THE ARDUINO
- To use the sensor with your Arduino, the library installation is required first. For this, we recommend the OneWire and DallasTemperature libraries that we have customized.
- You can download the libraries here.
- First unzip the downloaded ZIP archive. Copy both folders into the
- Arduino library directory. directory. This is located in the following location:
- C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Dokumente\Arduino\libraries
- After you have connected the sensor to your Arduino, you can transfer the corresponding program file. Copy the following program example into your Arduino IDE and transfer it to your Arduino:
- Alternatively, you can download the program file here.
- After you have transferred the file to your Arduino, the temperature measurement is started automatically and the results are output via the serial monitor of your Arduino IDE.
