After using the same code for over a year, I made some changes to my code a month ago, and now it appears that one of my DS18B20 temperature probes is broken.
My program reads anywhere from 2 to 4 probes at a given time. I can plug three different probes into my breadboard and see them all in cat ls /sys/bus/w1/devices/
.
However, after plugging in the malfunctioning probe, it a) never shows up under the previous command; and b) causes the previous command to list any of the other probes.
Would there be anyway to break a DS18B20 temperature probe via software? Perhaps by reading from it too quickly for too long of a time period?
