Driver Lpt Usb Converter' title='Driver Lpt Usb Converter' />Quick Digital Thermometer Using Cheap USB to TTL Converter and DS1. B2. 0In my previous instructable I gave an introduction to Digital thermometer using DS1. B2. 0 and ESP8. 26. SPI OLED display, and programming using Arduino IDE. That required knowledge of programming, basic electronics and required a bit of electronics hardware too. But what about those who HATE programming and Electronics In this instructable I will go a step BACK, interfacing a digital temperature sensor DS1. B2. 0 and getting the realtime temperature readings in degrees and Fahrenheit on windows PC WITHOUT any programming. Here, I managed with the help of several google searches to interface the DS1. Grid 2 Autosave Fix For Crack. B2. 0 with my laptop using cheaply available USB to RS2. Product Panel Views Description Product Views USB Type B Connector Power Outlet The USB to Serial converter is powered by USB Universal. USB Serial Adapter Drivers Page. For windows usb serial adapter cables using prolific chip also mac and linux drivers for usb serail cables as well as x86 64bit. Windows device driver information for Microsoft USB GPS Port. Microsoft USB GPS Port is a communication channel developed by Microsoft and used by the USB GPS. And with the help of free software One. Wire. Viewer from Maxim Integrated we can program resolution, view temperature readings or save the data in text or excel files. The best thing is we do not need any microcontroller, microprocessor, Arduino or Raspberry PI etc. DS1. B2. 0 Measures Temperatures from 5. A parallel port is a type of interface found on computers personal and otherwise for connecting peripherals. The name refers to the way the data is sent parallel. C to 1. 25C 6. F to 2. F with 0. C Accuracy from 1. C to 8. 5C. A fairly reasonable temperature range for day to day applications and weather system. This sensor IC is 1 wire device i. Wikipedia says 1 Wire is a device communications bus system designed by Dallas Semiconductor Corp. Wire is similar in concept to IC, but with lower data rates and longer range. It is typically used to communicate with small inexpensive devices such as digital thermometers and weather instruments. But Interfacing 1 wire devices require complex programming for bus timing adjustments. That makes life of a Common electronics enthusiast difficult. To make it easier, Maxim Integrated has made freely available One. Wire. Viewer software for different PC operating systems. But again, it demands Expensive proprietary USB to RS2. I had a cheap USB to RS2. TTL converter lying in my drawer, and I decided to use it to communicate with DS1. B2. 0. After scratching my head and with help of great GOOGLE i finally manged to make it work with very simple connections. WITHOUT using any additional electronic component. Not even a pull up resistor. This DS1. 8B2. 0 temp sensor is available at around 2. USD and cloned USB to RS2. TTL i used one with Prolific PL2. HX converter for around 2 3 USD on ebay,amazon or aliexpress. Note In subsequent steps I am using following abbreviations for personal ease UTC USB to RS2. TTL Converter DS DS1. B2. 0 1 wire temperature sensor with programmable resolution.
