sensor uint8 temperature_sensor_read()

[rudi ;-)]

Hi
we have onSoC Sensor as temperature.
we have uint8 as F ( Fahrenheit ) ?
this are ~ -17 °C to 123 °C
so we can use simply code for conversion in Celsius, too?

Code: Select all

// simply code
uint8 temper;
float celsius;

temper= temperature_sensor_read();
celsius = ( temper - 32 ) / 1.8;
printf("Sensor onBoard is F: %i    C: %.2f\n", temper, clesius);

can we calibrate the sensor or can we use simply calibrate
by add or subtract comparative measurement and the difference to the reference?

best wishes

ps:
the sensor shows actually in a loop stable value.
the value itself must be calibrate if use for ambient temperature.
factor for self-heating to be considered by measurements?

btw:
i tested utf8 code in minicom for degree char with 0x00B0 but this shows not the right
in minicom. if you have the right conversion in this, reply/add yours please.

Code: Select all

printf(" %cF: %i\n ", 0x00B0, temper);
printf(" %cC: %.2f\n ", 0x00B0, celsius);

Hi

think this is the finnish version:
be sure you subtract 32 from what is read result by

for me this works with a second little calibrate then ( 1 F ) comparatively with a DS18B20. for measurements ambient temperature in which is exposed to the ESP
completely adequate, txs espressif!

simple code:

Code: Select all

// simple code for the measurement of OnBoard sensor
// rudi 26 Dez 2015
// base is RTOS SDK 1.1.0
// ESP31B (1. Revision "false silkscreen")
 
uint8 temper;  // result in fahrenheit 
float celsius;    // conversion in Celsius later
uint8 bugCorrection = 32 ; // bug correction value

// which can differ locally, fine tuning is always made 
// by each itself, for me it was 0.6 degrees Celsius,
// that are 1,08 Fahrenheit ,  i round down to 1 here:
uint8 calibrateCorrection = 1 ; // calibrate with an mercury thermometer
 
// read now from SoC
temper= temperature_sensor_read();

// bugCorrecture - 32
temper= temper - bugCorrection;

// calibrate with an mercury thermometer - 1 Fahrenheit
temper= temper - calibrateCorrection;

// conversion fahrenheit in celsius
celsius = ( temper - 32 ) / 1.8;

// output fahrenheit and celsius result
printf("Sensor onBoard is F: %i    C: %.2f\n", temper, clesius);

picture ( done in windows XP with simple terminal ):
shows a calibrate with 1.4 °C

ps:
the sensor shows actually in a loop stable value.
if you use this for ambient room measure fast and long time, there is a litle-little self-heating. test it by yourself and you can see a little little by max 0. 1 - 0.6 °C more as you calibrated .

If you use later Wifi and other we must do this again, the reference is
the first measuring with a calibrating like here.

if you use this for self-monitoring esp then you do not need calibrate again.
the value is the end value, for testing , you can use a Infrared Thermometer

You have a graph of ambient temp accuracy (self-heating effect) over wider range of temperatures?

thanks for your interest and demand.

this will be the next step, the record with an overview of
ambient temp
"self-heating" by measuring processing SoC read procedure
"self-heating" by measuring with an Infrared Thermometer and compare with read result
and last but not least
number of "ticks" done in this meantime of measurement.
think this is still a crucial factor, when, where and which takes place a self-heating, if it should take place at all.

this ticks i try to increase with computing tasks later.
next steps then measurment with other processings example wifi, bt,..

just in time, i need the modul in other developing processing
because in the measurement, i can't program it with apps.
the long measurement is made in the intervals and pauses
when no work with it or sleep or rest.

hope we get to buy asap the module after chin. new year.
think these are previously unavailable.

Hi Rudi,

Do you know which ADC is used for the internal temperature sensor? I am asking because for example the hall sensor uses the ADC_1 ch 0 and 3.

Hi guys, I can't calibrate this sensor with ambient or case temperature. I have this informations:

All values are Degress *C.
CHIP and AMBIENT temperatures are measured by termometer.
READ temperature is Degress from code in ESP32.


READ____ CHIP-WIFI-ON__AMBIENT
50_______30____________30______//Start
63_______44____________30______//After run


READ____ CHIP-WIFI-OFF__AMBIENT
50_______30____________30______//Start
53_______37____________30______//After run

I try to use a linear math, but this not linear. How can I calibrate this ?

hi

have a note that post was from Dez 2015 and was for ESP31B (1. Revision "false silkscreen")

Oh

But cannot help me?

Oh

But cannot help me?

how looks your code snip for read temp and how you convert it to °C ?
which time interval you read the temp?

Code used:


Delay: 1Sec. Just a simple read. I cannot convert read values to chip real temperature, because curve is not linear (I think)
