STM32 Nucleo and TMP102 Arduino example

In this article we look at the TMP102 digital sensor and we will connect it up to an STM32 Nucleo – the example code is written in the Arduino IDE

The TMP102 device is a digital temperature sensor ideal for NTC/PTC thermistor replacement where high accuracy is required. The device offers an accuracy of ±0.5°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. Device temperature sensors are highly linear and do not require complex calculations or lookup tables to derive the temperature. The on-chip 12-bit ADC offers resolutions down to 0.0625°C.

The TMP102 device features SMBus™, two-wire and I2C interface compatibility, and allows up to four devices on one bus. The device also features an SMBus alert function. The device is specified to operate over supply voltages from 1.4 to 3.6 V with the maximum quiescent current of 10 µA over the full operating range.

The TMP102 device is ideal for extended temperature measurement in a variety of communication, computer, consumer, environmental, industrial, and instrumentation applications. The device is specified for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.

Code

This is from the Arduino site with a few tweaks

#include "Wire.h"

void setup() 
{
  Wire.begin(); // start the I2C library
  Serial.begin(115200); //Start serial communication at 115200 baud
}

{
  getTemp102();
  delay(5000); //wait 5 seconds before printing our next set of readings. 
}

void getTemp102()

  int val; /* an int is capable of storing two bytes, this is where we "chuck" the two bytes together. */ 
  float convertedtemp; /* We then need to multiply our two bytes by a scaling factor, mentioned in the datasheet. */

  Wire.beginTransmission(TMP102_I2C_ADDRESS); //Say hi to the sensor. 
  Wire.write(0x00);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  /*The first byte contains the most significant bits, and 
   the second the less significant */
    val = firstbyte;
    if ((firstbyte & 0x80) > 0) 
    {
      val |= 0x0F00;
    } 
    val <<= 4; 
 /* MSB */
    val |= (secondbyte >> 4);    
/* LSB is ORed into the second 4 bits of our byte.
Bitwise maths is a bit funky, but there's a good tutorial on the playground*/
    convertedtemp = val*0.0625;
    correctedtemp = convertedtemp - 5; 
    /* See the above note on overreading */


  Serial.print("firstbyte is ");
