DS1631 0.3.7

DS1631

This pure python module provides a raspberry pi i2c driver for Maxim-Dallas DS1621 DS1631 DS1631A DS1721 DS1731 high-precision digital thermometer and thermostat.

Prerequisites

Python : version 3
Raspberry pi (OS Raspbian)
All operating systems with virtual device

Installing DS1631 python module

From Pypi repository :
https://pypi.org/project/DS1631

pip install DS1631

Datasheets

• DS1631-DS1731
• DS1621
• DS1721

2-wire serial data bus

DS1631s (8 devices max) are connected to Raspberry pi i2c GPIO with 4 wires :

• SDA i2c bus (GPIO2)
• SCL i2c bus (GPIO3)
• Power (3.3 V or 5 V)
• Ground

Basic usage

Raspberry pi : OS Raspbian

First, you need python 3 smbus module :

sudo apt install python3-smbus

DS1631 device simple example

import DS1631
import time

i2c_address = 0x48
ic1 = DS1631.DS1631(1, i2c_address)
# thermostat config
ic1.set_tout_polarity("active-low")
ic1.set_thigh(22.5)
ic1.set_tlow(20.5)
# thermometer config
ic1.set_conversion_mode("continuous")
ic1.set_resolution(12)
ic1.start_convert()
# read temperature
while True:
    time.sleep(0.75)
    temperature = ic1.get_temperature()
    print("Temperature  : {} °C".format(temperature))

Virtual device simple example

DS1631 module provides a DS1631virtualdevice class for development without raspberry pi or DS1631s devices.

On–Off controller (hysteresis controller) simulation is performed :

• if temperature > thigh then electric radiator OFF
• if temperature < tlow then electric radiator ON

Of course, you don't need python 3 smbus module, so you can work with a Windows OS computer or Android OS device (pydroid3).

import DS1631
import time

# virtual device
room = DS1631.DS1631virtualdevice(initial_temperature=18,
                                  thigh=20, tlow=19,
                                  P=1000, R=0.02,
                                  tau=360,
                                  Text_max=15,Text_min=10,
                                  period=24*3600)
while True:
    time.sleep(0.75)
    temperature = room.get_temperature()
    print("Temperature  : {} °C".format(temperature))
