It also has a 40 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM. -Because the ability of temperature, current and voltage measurement, the chip -is also often used in weather stations and applications such as: rain gauge, -wind speed/direction measuring, humidity sensing, etc. - -Current support is provided through the following sysfs files (all files -except "iad" are readonly): - -"iad" ------ -This file controls the 'Current A/D Control Bit' (IAD) in the -Status/Configuration Register. -Writing a zero value will clear the IAD bit and disables the current -measurements. -Writing value "1" is setting the IAD bit (enables the measurements). -The IAD bit is enabled by default in the DS2438. - -When writing to sysfs file bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII. -An I/O error is returned when there is a problem setting the new value. - -"page0" -------- -This file provides full 8 bytes of the chip Page 0 (00h). -This page contains the most frequently accessed information of the DS2438. -Internally when this file is read, the additional CRC byte is also obtained -from the slave device. If it is correct, the 8 bytes page data are passed -to userspace, otherwise an I/O error is returned. - -"temperature" -------------- -Opening and reading this file initiates the CONVERT_T (temperature conversion) -command of the chip, afterwards the temperature is read from the device -registers and provided as an ASCII decimal value. - -Important: The returned value has to be divided by 256 to get a real -temperature in degrees Celsius. - -"vad", "vdd" ------------- -Opening and reading this file initiates the CONVERT_V (voltage conversion) -command of the chip. - -Depending on a sysfs filename a different input for the A/D will be selected: -vad: general purpose A/D input (VAD) -vdd: battery input (VDD) - -After the voltage conversion the value is returned as decimal ASCII. -Note: To get a volts the value has to be divided by 100. |
