I've got a Pi 4 and went to hook up a couple sensors, the first being a DHT11, it's working fine. The second being a DS18B20, on the 1-wire interface (using the standard GPIO pin 4). The circuit is identical to how I had it on a Pi 3, sensor ground to ground, sensor + to 3.3v, data line to pin 4, with a 4.7k pull-up resistor between the data line and the 3.3v line.

The sensor actually works fine in this configuration, I'm getting good readings from it. The problem I'm having is that when the sensor is connected to the 1-wire interface, the wireless networking will not function.

I moved the 1-wire to a different gpio pin thinking that might help, but I'm still getting the same results. My sensors all work, but no WiFi. I've measure the voltages on the data pin, getting ~3.3 as I'd expect. Any ideas on what could be going on?

Thanks in advance.

  • I vividly remember that I was happy when successfully did 1-Wire DS18B20 with 12 sensors on 1 GPIO pin, but then very unhappy to find that my UART does not work anymore. In other words, 1-Wire and UART cannot not go together. But I did not notice that WiFi and 1-Wire do not go together. No UART at the same time is already sad. No Wifi is ridiculously unthinkably sad! Cheers.

  • It is extremely unlikely that the GPIO is affecting WiFi which is connected to the on-board sdio interface. Without knowing what else you fiddled with no one can answer.

  • Thanks for that, seems weird to me too. As far as fiddling, there's been nothing more than I posted, this same circuit runs fine on pi3, fails on pi4, even using the same disk image. I don't mean a copy, but the same physical circuit connected via a ribbon cable.

  • To clarify, the pi boots fine without the sensor connected to pin 4. With the sensor connected the wifi fails, but the sensor is working properly. I know it seems like it shouldn't affect the wifi, but clearly it is

  • Perhaps your 1-Wire driver is out of date. I use this driver: python3-w1ThermSensor-1.0.5 and found it OK for both Rpi3 and Rpi4: (1) "DS18B20 Temperature Sensor - Rpi 3/4 Driver, Wiring, Detection, and Python Programming": raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/100203/… There are a couple of troubleshooting tricks, including: (2) Use a strong pullup, say 1k8, (3) Start with short wires, say 0.3 meter, gradually trials and errors to to your 30 meters. / to continue, ...

I had this same issue; it turned out to be a weak power supply for the pi4. After using a type-C laptop charger, the issue went away.
