W1TemperatureParser

Some utils to ease parsing results of DS18B20 temperature sensor in use on the GPIO of the Raspberry PI. Retries a defined amount of times, if the sensor returns non-temperature values like 85000 (initial state) and 127687 (signed int - wrong communication). Also revert the result to fahrenheit.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'w1_temperature_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install w1_temperature_parser

Usage

Just call the binary with the sensor virtual file:

parse_temperature -i  /sys/bus/w1/devices/w1_bus_master1/10-[replace-with-correct-id]/w1_slave
22.762

Result in fahrenheit

parse_temperature -u F -i  /sys/bus/w1/devices/w1_bus_master1/10-[replace-with-correct-id]/w1_slave
73.762

Help dialog

Usage: parse_temperature.rb [options]
    -i, --input=INPUT_FILE           input file
    -u, --unit=UNIT                  Unit of output, c/C - Celsius, f/F - Fahrenheit, k/K - Kelvin (standard celsius)
    -h, --help                       Prints this help

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
