Error unknown typ name 'DS18B20'

[mrjj]

@AlexKrammer
well the constructor is
DS18B20::DS18B20(uint8_t pin)
so it does seem like the pin.

• DS18B20 sensor;" i receive the following error message: "No matching constructor for initialization of'DS18B20'.

if we have the same .h , the compiler is correct. There is no default constructor
and you must create it with and uint8_t as a parameter.

also looking at this
https://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/arduino/arduino-ds18b20-temperature-sensor/

its seems correct :)

@mrjj
no mine is a other one.
when i use the arduino library i got this.

there are a lot of errors. then i delete it and created a .h and .cpp file with that code.

ds18b20.h

#define DS18B20_H_
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define CELCIUS 0
#define FAHRENHEIT 1
#define BUS "/sys/bus/w1/devices/"
#define TEMPFILE "/w1_slave"

class DS18B20 {
public:
    DS18B20(const char* address);
    virtual ~DS18B20();
    uint8_t getUnits();
    void setUnits(uint8_t);
    float getTemp();
    float CtoF(float);
private:
    uint8_t unit_;
    char* address_;
    char path[47]; // path should be 46 chars

};

ds18b20.cpp

#include "ds18b20.h"

DS18B20::DS18B20(const char* address) {
    address_ = strdup(address);
    unit_ = CELCIUS;
    snprintf(path, 46, "%s%s%s", BUS, address_, TEMPFILE);
}

DS18B20::~DS18B20() {
}

float DS18B20::getTemp() {
    FILE *devFile = fopen(path, "r");
    if (devFile == NULL) {
        printf("Count not open %s\n", path);
        perror("\n");
    }
    float temp = -1;
    if (devFile != NULL) {
        if (!ferror(devFile)) {
            unsigned int tempInt;
            char crcConf[5];
            fscanf(devFile, "%*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x : crc=%*x %s", crcConf);
            if (strncmp(crcConf, "YES", 3) == 0) {
                fscanf(devFile, "%*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x %*x t=%5d", &tempInt);
                temp = (float) tempInt / 1000.0;
            }
        }
    }
    fclose(devFile);

    if (unit_ == CELCIUS) {
        return temp;
    } else
        return CtoF(temp);
}

uint8_t DS18B20::getUnits() {
    return unit_;
}

void DS18B20::setUnits(uint8_t u) {
    unit_ = u;
}

float DS18B20::CtoF(float temp) {
    return temp * 1.8 + 32;
}

now im on this problem:

what kind of .h file do u use and where did u download that, that there are no errors.

[mrjj]

Hi
I downloaded from your link
https://www.arduinolibraries.info/libraries/ds18-b20
But i don't have a board so don't know if it actually works.
It does complain about me not having
#include "Arduino.h"
#include <OneWire.h>

but that is expected. The actual .h and .cpp seems happy enough.

I goggled the use of
DS18B20::DS18B20(const char* address)
to see what they would put as adresss but could not find a single example of that.
But plenty of DS18B20 examples otherwise

@mrjj
now i removed the .h and .cpp file

i just downloaded the libraries again and i got the same problem like in the first picture. why dont you have
#include "Arduino.h"
#include <OneWire.h>
and what did you do that you dont get the error unkown type name "uint8_t"
the error is still hundreds time here.

[mrjj]

hi
I dont have a board so i dont have the Arduino software / libs installed so no #include "Arduino.h" etc.

the uint8_t comes from
#include <stdint.h>

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj i dont use arduino too. Raspberry Pi is what i use.
The stdint.h is just a standart library or where can i get it?

If this change remove the error do u thing when i type in a raspberry pin into the constructor e.g. 22 it will work?

[mrjj]

@AlexKrammer
Oh
I just assume since it had Arduino included and most google searches talked about Arduino :)

Well i just added
#include <stdint.h>
and it knew it.
So its included on newer compilers.

• If this change remove the error do u thing when i type in a raspberry pin into the constructor e.g. 22 it will work?

  Yes if it has that chip then yes.

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
And if i create a new class called "CheckTemlerature" how could i use the DS18B20 sensor.
The first thing to open the constructor with input the Raspberry Pin.
Second step Funktion getTemp?
Third step close with destructor?
Thanks for halp

[mrjj]

@AlexKrammer
Yes, it seems that way looking over the examples.

are you using the
DS18B20::DS18B20(const char* address) version or the other version using uint pin ?

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
I deleted the DS18B20::DS18B20(const char* address) version and try it with your idea. I hope it will work but ill see it tomorrow. Its enough for today.
Thanks a lot.

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
Now i removed the
#include "Arduino.h"
#include <OneWire.h>

and added #include <stdint.h>

But now i receive the error massage with OneWire again.
How did you solve that problem?

The second fault is that the .cpp produced a lot of errors too.
I think it depends on the OneWire file.

How did you solve that problem?

[mrjj]

Hi
That include file comes from
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OneWire.html
But im not sure that works with a RaspberryPi directly.

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
that to files OneWire.h and OneWire.cpp include also like DS18B20 as existing File?

[mrjj]

@AlexKrammer
Yes but im not sure it will just work with a pi board.

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
its even dont work on my windows pc ^^

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
There are still error. i dont know, why you dont receive that errors respectively when you try to compile the code, why its work. if i try to run it, there are hundreds of error messages.

[mrjj]

@AlexKrammer
Well i didnt download and added OneWire to see. Maybe why.
Just checkout DS18B20 as question started with.
I dont have a board to test on so i would never be able to run it anyway.

Thats just #include <stdio.h> it complains about.
Very odd the .h does not include that.

Also, you do understand that these libs are meant to be used ON the board.?
They can never read a sensor on a pi board where apps run on win pc and have the pi board connected via USB
or similar.
But you do seem to have a raspberry Debian running so you are compiling directly on the board, right ?

[AlexKrammer]

@mrjj
Now I includes #include <stdio.h> in ds18b20.cpp but nothing changed.
the error C1083 does not depend on stdio.h, does it?

yes i have both systems running.

[mrjj]

@AlexKrammer
Ok. Good. Just checking
No that error comes from some missing .h file. As it shows.
From the utils folder
https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/OneWire/tree/master/util
so you should add those too it seems.

[AlexKrammer]

oh thanks. that i missed. but its funny. i have the same errors on windows and raspien.
i think it dont depend where to compily. The only different i think will be, on raspberry will the outputs work. Dont you think?
