Compile Problems with Photon Weather Shield + Weather Meter

Hi:

I am trying to create a weather station with the Photon Weather Shield and no matter which example I try I keep getting an error on compile that it cannot locate the OneWire.h file. I am working through the Photon Online App and have included the OneWire library and the OneWire.h file is listed as one of the files added by the Photon app.

Using the SparkFun example including access to the Soil Temperature and moisture ports, a check of the code gives the following full compile messages:

You can see at the top of the compiler messages that the OneWire library seems to be found AND included. Any ideas what’s wrong???

Thanks!

The code is the same as the code on the SparkFun site that adds soil temperature and moisture. In case someone wants to see the code that gives me the compiler error, here it is:

SparkFun_Photon_Weather_Basic_Soil_Meters.ino

SparkFun Photon Weather Shield basic example with soil moisture and temp

and weather meter readings including wind speed, wind direction and rain.

Joel Bartlett @ SparkFun Electronics

Original Creation Date: May 18, 2015

Based on the Wimp Weather Station sketch by: Nathan Seidle

https://github.com/sparkfun/Wimp_Weather_Station

This sketch prints the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude,

soil moisture, and soil temperature to the Seril port. This sketch also

incorporates the Weather Meters avaialbe from SparkFun (SEN-08942), which allow

you to measure Wind Speed, Wind Direction, and Rainfall. Upload this sketch

after attaching a soil moisture and or soil temperature sensor and Wetaher

Meters to test your connections.

Hardware Connections:

This sketch was written specifically for the Photon Weather Shield,

which connects the HTU21D and MPL3115A2 to the I2C bus by default.

If you have an HTU21D and/or an MPL3115A2 breakout, use the following

hardware setup:

HTU21D ------------- Photon

(-) ------------------- GND

(+) ------------------- 3.3V (VCC)

CL ------------------- D1/SCL

DA ------------------- D0/SDA

MPL3115A2 ------------- Photon

GND ------------------- GND

VCC ------------------- 3.3V (VCC)

SCL ------------------ D1/SCL

SDA ------------------ D0/SDA

Soil Moisture Sensor ----- Photon

GND ------------------- GND

VCC ------------------- D5

SIG ------------------- A1

DS18B20 Temp Sensor ------ Photon

VCC (Red) ------------- 3.3V (VCC)

GND (Black) ----------- GND

SIG (White) ----------- D4

Development environment specifics:

IDE: Particle Dev

Hardware Platform: Particle Photon

Particle Core

Hi again:

I’ve found online that there was a problem in the Dallas-temperature library that leads to this error, which was reported more than two years ago. However, I could not find anyone saying that they found a fix for it. However, I saw a couple of comments that said “Why not just switch to the DS18B20 library instead”. I would do so in a heart beat, but I don’t know what all I would need to change in the code to make that switch.

Can anyone walk me through the changes I would need to make to the code I posted above to read the soil temperature from the temperature probe connected to the 3 SoilTemp pins on the SparkFun WeatherShield for the Photon?

I also would like to get the Soil Moisture to a moisture sensor attached to the SoilMoisture pins on the same shield. This is supposed to be in the code I borrowed, but I’m not sure it is correct.

Thanks!

Hey Jproehl. Sorry for the delay in response here.

I regret to say that this cold is a bit on the old side and needs an update, however, prioritizing an update for the code will probably take time. I will submit to our engineering department to look into updating the code for this product to prevent issues such as what you are experiencing from happening. I am sure the code worked flawlessly back in 2015.

As for compiling new code to get your project working, I regret to inform you that this is not really a service SparkFun offers our forum users or customers. I bet you would have a better chance of getting help if you posted on the Arduino forums as their community is much more active when it comes to everything Arduino related:

https://forum.arduino.cc/

I hope this helps. Please let us know how else we may be of assistance.
