Hey guys,
I’m having a strange issue with my Temp7410 module and don’t know where to start debugging.
Following situation:
I request the temperature from the sensor every second.
Everything works fine, but
-) when I touch the sensor IC or
-) bend a cable or
-) blow the sensor (smoothly with my mouth)
I sometimes get ‘0’ as return value.
I checked the solder joints, desoldered everything and soldered it again,
changed the cables, and decreased I2C clock frequency from 400kHz to 100kHz.
Last night I left it alone in the living room, capturing the temperature, and there was not a single ‘0’ reading.
I built a second circle on a breadboard, to see if it’s a layout issue. But same behavior.
So I expect it to be a problem with my driver, but I’m not doing anything else than reading a register from the sensor every second. I don’t know what could be wrong there.
You can find the driver here:
Additionally I have attached an image of the circuit.
Does anyone had a similar issue? Or could give me a hint where to start?
Cheers,
Dominik
