Dallas iButton and UART

SGian.1 · ‎2024-12-22

Hi there!

i start to work with Dallas Ibutton and for my project i use STM32G031K8 nucleo. Because i need to read only one ibutton i use the UART peripheral and no ic dedicate for 1Wire. My problem is when i try to use the rx callback function for know when i receive all data (and i start wit receive one bit at the time) never shoot, If i put a simple delay of 1ms everythingh wor very well i can see all my data on my logic analyzer .Question because the nucleo use the second uart2 for debug is possible that give me the problem ? and if yes how can i resolve ?

Thank you soo much

No, if you're not using USART2 in your code, it won't affect your program. Doesn't matter that it's hooked up to the ST-Link chip.

Yep you have a reason

More specifically, you're talking about hacking 1-Wire^TM comms on a UART:

But, to understand what's going wrong with your implementation, you're going to have to give a lot more detail!

Before getting into 1-Wire^TM, have you got this working well on a "normal" serial connection to a terminal (or whatever)?

So look carefully at your LA traces with & without that delay.

Compare & Contrast.

Does the non-working case comply with the 1-Wire^TM specifications?

As well as a LA, you should also check with an oscilloscope - that the analogue behaviour is correct ...

Indeed.

And they haven't been Dallas for decades now! And correct spelling is iButton.

The AD article does say:

A delay may need to be added between the UART bytes being transmitted to allow for the required recovery time (T_REC)
