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.

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

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
