I just wanted to ask some advices. I have tried everything I could find, including :

  • /boot/config.txt add Line dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4
  • Update and Upgrade
  • Updating firmware
  • Buying new Sensors.
  • Tried Testing GPIO4 (Pin 7)
  • sudo modprobe w1-gpio && sudo modprobe w1_therm (always present)

I just cannot seem to get these sensors to pic up at all

I have rechecked my wiring and all seems Fine. was following this (Guide)

I tried testing GPIO4 with an LED and Python.. but I cannot seem to get it to switch state to .HIGH (Possibly Faulty GPIO pin?)/(Locked by Kernel?)

Any Assistance would be appreciated.

  • Could you post a photo of your set-up and could you detail the connections you have made between the Pi and the sensor(s).

  • Could you edit your post and add those photos? It's more useful for subsequent readers. Also could you describe the connections you have made? It is easier to check a written description against the photos.

  • As far as I can tell from the photos the connections look okay. One end of the resistor is connected to 3V3. Is the other connected to the data output pin?

This happened to me today, after few hours I found the answer. :)

Add this line to /boot/config.txt:

device_tree=

Then restart the Pi. Hope this will fix for you too.
