BMS Config Software
Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2008 3:22 pm
In preperation for the multiple temperature sensors on one input feature, which I'm busy incorporating into the Master here is some updated BMS config software.
This allows you to attach each sensor/or the wires to it to the Master in turn, and it then reads the unique serial number from the I2C DS18B20 device. It should work with any other I2C device from the same family as well. It can only read one sensor at a time, and if there is no/faulty sensor etc you will get garbage displayed.
This 8 number serial is then noted down by the user, and will be added by them to the Master software when released to enable access to each temp sensor individually.
Greg, you need to use this to get the unique ID's for each of your temp sensors.

The upgraded Master software is coming and is just about there with this new feature. Lack of variables is a problem now and I may have to re-wire/reorganise soon to make it a bit easier to follow and more effcient.
When the Picaxe 28X2 part is launched in a few weeks the variable problem should be over as it has double the capacity
