SDI12 is a single wire serial protocol that uses inverted 5V logic levels, specifically (1200 baud, 7E1) for bi-directional data flow with one Master and many Slaves. This library sets up the Freescale Cortex one-wire protocol for each of its 3 Hardware Serial ports TX pin along with critical timing - Break and Mark signals to wake the sensor bus. This makes effectively 3 separate SDI12 buses that can be used or not. Since SDI12 is Master-Slave, many different types of sensor can share the same bus through the use of unique address for each sensor.
Level Shifting:
Since Teensy (3.x/LC) are 3.3V micrcontrollers it is actually out of SDI12 specification:
- Spacing (3.5V to 5V)
- Marking (-0.5V to 1V)
For proper level shifting I found that you can use the Adafruit's Bi-directional Logic Level Converter TXB0104. I2C level shifters do not work because of their 'open-drain' architecture the TXB0104 uses 'push-pull'.
Sensor Tested:
Hookup - No Level Shifter:
- Teensy 3.0 are not 5V tolerant, put a resistor inlined with the data line.
- Teensy 3.1 is 5V tolerant so direct connection can be done.
- While SDI12 specification states 12V is used for power, many sensors use a range of values (5-17V).
Connect the sensor to Teensy using Teensy's Vin (5V) for sensor power.
