DS18B20

[AndrewB]

I've completely removed the DS1307 as this is still playing up.

I was asking if there was a better way of checking the amount of DS18B20's .
I have a simple if then as shown above.
could you advise on a faster routine.

If you want to constantly check for devices that are attached or removed I suppose you're stuck doing the search.

If you want the main routine to be "more responsive" you could split the routines up into sections so that only a portion of it is done every time through the loop. Check out Maxim app note AN187 for examples of how you might do this.

It'll make your main loop much more complicated since you'll now have to keep a list of installed sensors so you'll know which ones you can read.

Thanks will look into that.

Ive cut out the ds1307 section out as it defiantly was a cause of the crashing/resetting.
