It was a straightforward change using the OneWire and DallasTemperature libraries. Initially nothing was working, but then I realized that I had f...</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Solar SPEC - updated temperature sensor code</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/solarpowerdevices/b/blog/posts/solar-spec---updated-temperature-sensor-code</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Sep 2018 18:36:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:61410a9e-5979-4e1f-8bbc-4a46122efd4a</guid><dc:creator>genebren</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Thermal mass is a problem with a lot of the temperature sensors (more so when the mass of plastic around the sensor is so great).&amp;nbsp; You can improve the response by circulating air across the sensor, but in reality, the temperature changes in a more natural setting will be far more gradual so that this should not be seen as a problem,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good luck on your next steps!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gene&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=5502&amp;AppID=210&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
