Weather station: ================ Legal information: -----------------This project and all code and documentation attached to it are subject to the ISC license. Please read the file LICENSE for more information. Introduction: ------------I want to explore some technologies. By developing a weather station, I'm able to play with all the things I had in mind. To keep it exciting, I'm not going to disclose all my plans. But, in the end, this repository will contain code and information to make yourself a nice weather station. Station 1: ---------The first version of the station is be based on a Soekris Engineering net4801. You can find details about the net4801 (which is end of life by the way) at: - http://www.soekris.com/net4801.htm - http://www.soekris.com/manuals/net4801_manual.pdf Basically it's an i386 device with an AMD Geode CPU (234 MHz) and 128 MB RAM. The weather station relies on sensors to measure temperature and other stuff. What I'm interested in is the board's GPIO pins. It should be relatively easy to attach sensors to these pins. The following is taken from the net4801 manual: JP5, User I/O. 20 pins 0.050" header with 12 programmable general purpose input/output pins and com2 serial port access at TTL level. They are connected directly to the PC87366 Multi-IO controller, please see the PC87366 datasheet for programming information and electrical specifications. When the board is viewed as on the illustration (ethernet ports facing you), pin 1 is the top left pin, at the "JP5" text. The pinout that is in the 4801 manual seems incorrect, you need to refer to the pinout that is on the wiki of the "net5501 JP5 GPIO mappings" for working values: - http://wiki.soekris.info/Net5501_JP5_GPIO_Mappings +-------------+-------------+------------+-----------+-------------+ | PC87366 Pin | Function | Pin Number | Function | PC87366 Pin | +-------------+-------------+-----+------+-----------+-------------+ | -| +3.3V Power | 1 | 2 | +5V Power | -| | GPIO 16 | GPIO 3 | 3 | 4 | GPIO 4 | GPIO 17 | | GPIO 18 | GPIO 5 | 5 | 6 | GPIO 6 | GPIO 19 | | GPIO 20 | GPIO 7 | 7 | 8 | GPIO 8 | GPIO 21 | | GPIO 22 | GPIO 9 | 9 | 10 | GPIO 10 | GPIO 23 | | -| GND | 11 | 12 | GPIO 12 | GPIO 04 | | GPIO 05 | GPIO 13 | 13 | 14 | GND | -| | GPIO 11 | GPIO 15 | 15 | 16 | GPIO 16 | GPIO 16 | | -| GND | 17 | 18 | RXD | -| | -| TXD | 19 | 20 | GND | -| +-------------+-------------+-----+------+-----------+-------------+ OpenBSD: -------The device is running OpenBSD 4.7. It's an old release, but that's not really relevant for what I'm doing with it at the moment. Let's see what information dmesg has about GPIO: [root@casper ~] # dmesg | grep -i gpio gpio0 at gscpcib0: 64 pins nsclpcsio0 at isa0 port 0x2e/2: NSC PC87366 rev 9: GPIO VLM TMS gpio1 at nsclpcsio0: 29 pins

We don't need device gpio0. But that's awesome, the PC87366 chip is found at gpio1. Here are some relevant manpages: - http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gpio - http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nsclpcsio On OpenBSD, GPIO pins have to be enabled in securelevel lower than 1. The default securelevel is 1, so you have to enable the pin in /etc/rc.securelevel: gpioctl gpio1 17 set out pp As you can see, you have to use the GPIO Pin number (17) and not the JP5 pin number. Then, reboot. After reboot, the gpioctl command will notice the pin: # gpioctl /dev/gpio1 /dev/gpio1: 1 pins To test if this worked, I attached an LED to the pin. To set the LED value, you can use the following command with parameter 'on', 'off' or 'toggle'. gpioctl gpio1 17 on Sensor: ------The DS18B20 is a digital thermometer with a 1-Wire interface. I attached the data pin of the thermometer to gpio pin 21 and attached a onewire(4) bus on a gpioow(4) device on pin 21. The following was added in /etc/rc.securelevel: gpioctl gpio1 attach gpioow 21 0x01 When I reboot the system, the device is found: gpioow0 at gpio1: DATA[21] open-drain pull-up onewire0 at gpioow0 And: owtemp0 at onewire0 "Temperature" sn 000001b3da23 Reading the temperature is very easy now, you can just read it with the sysctl(8) command. The device is listed under hw.sensors.owtemp0: # sysctl hw.sensors.owtemp0 hw.sensors.owtemp0.temp0=24.19 degC (sn 000001b3da23) Here is some reference material on the 1-Wire stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onewire http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=onewire http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gpioow http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=owtemp

The exact details on how to connect the sensor's pins can be found in the DS18B20 datasheet, which can be downloaded at: - http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/maxim/DS18B20.pdf To read the temperature from a C program, you can use the sysctl(3) subroutine. Information on how to use the routine is in the manpage: - http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=3 Take a look at the file "openbsd/temperature/read.c" for an example. An example to toggle a LED can be found in "openbsd/toggle/blink.c".

Code Examples in Markdown

Syntax highlighting with GFM
```javascript function fancyAlert(arg) { if(arg) { $.facebox({div:'#foo'}) } } ```

Or, indent your code 4 spaces

Here is a Python code example without syntax highlighting: def foo: if not bar: return true

Inline code for comments

I think you should use an `<addr>` element here instead.
