MCP9800 setup [SOLVED]
PostPosted: Fri Jan 31, 2020 3:34 am     Reply with quote

Hello for everyone!

I have small question about MCP9800 temperature sensor which is very similar to LM75.

I try to set that sensor higher resolution but i always get only 0.5c resolution.

MCP9800 init:
Code:

i2c_start(I2CTEMPSENSOR);
i2c_write(I2CTEMPSENSOR,mcp9800_i2c_write);                 
i2c_write(I2CTEMPSENSOR,MCP9800_CONFIG_REG_ADDR); //0x01
i2c_write(I2CTEMPSENSOR,0b01100000);
i2c_stop();


MCP9800 read temperature (test code)
Code:

signed long datah, datal;
signed long data;

i2c_start();
i2c_write(mcp9800_i2c_write);
i2c_write(MCP9800_TEMP_REG_ADDR); //0x00
i2c_start();
i2c_write(mcp9800_i2c_write+1);
datah=i2c_read();
datal=i2c_read(0);
i2c_stop();

data=(signed long)datah*10;

   if(bit_test(datal,7))
   {
      if(data<0)data-=5;
      else data+=5;
   }
//fahrenheit:
data=(data)*90;
data=(data/50)+320;

//celcius:
data*=10;
data=(data-3200)/18;


What silly mistake i have here? Thank you very much for your help!

Problem is your conversion code is only using the top bit of the datal
return, so any extra resolution is lost....

Code:

union {
    signed int16 data;
    unsigned int8 bytes[2];
} value;


i2c_start();
i2c_write(mcp9800_i2c_write);
i2c_write(MCP9800_TEMP_REG_ADDR); //0x00
i2c_start();
i2c_write(mcp9800_i2c_write+1);
value.bytes[1]=i2c_read();
value.bytes[0]=i2c_read(0);
i2c_stop();
value.data/=16;



value.data, is now the signed integer data, in 1/16th degree steps.

This seems works okay but if temperature gets negative i can get say: 6543.8?

and if temperature gets positive everything is okay..

How i tune this function?

Thank you for your help!

Code:

signed long MCP9800_read_temp(void)
{

union
{
signed int16 data;
unsigned int8 bytes[2];
} value;

i2c_start();
i2c_write(mcp9800_i2c_write);
i2c_write(MCP9800_TEMP_REG_ADDR);
i2c_start();
i2c_write(mcp9800_i2c_write+1);
value.bytes[1]=i2c_read();
value.bytes[0]=i2c_read(0);
i2c_stop();
value.data/=16;

value.data*=10;
return value.data=(value.data-320)/18;

Use the union as I show. Casting does not carry the sign bit.
