Using ConfigurableFirmataWiFi with thermometer DS18B20 and Johnny-Five not working

[juliagf]

Hi! I'm trying to make work a DS1820 thermometer with ConfigurableFirmataWiFi firmware flashed on my NodeMCU 1.0 Amica ESP-12E board, but it does not work. Steps to reproduce:

• NodeMCU 1.0 Amica ESP-12E flashed with ConfigurableFirmataWiFi, connected to my home WiFi. It seems to work as it is working perfectly with an infrared proximity sensor. Temperature sensor seems to be correctly connected as is working with another script which shows the temperature every 3 seconds via WiFi on serial monitor.

• My code on the server script:

• The output:

I tried to change the "pin" field to: 'D1', 1, 5. Also with the "change" event. Nothing worked for me. I tried to reinstall ConfigurableFirmata. Nothing. I tried to build the firmware with the FirmataBuilder. Nothing. I saw there is another issue #1347 that was closed without solving. I don't know what else I could do. Totally desperate. Some help would be great. Thanks so much in advance.

I've encountered issues using a DS18B20 when other sensors are connected to the board. Never been able to determine the exact root of this issue. Best route is to use an I2C or a simple analog based thermometer and avoid OneWire with Firmata.

Thank you for your quick answer and honesty, I will try to use another thermometer and won't spend more time on this... 👍
