Reading raw binary digital values

[cloud8421]

Hello,

I'll start by saying that my hardware experience is very limited, so I may say something wrong. Please let me know if that's the case.

I'm trying to read data from this temperature/etc. digital sensor from a Raspberry PI 3.

It's a nerves ~> 0.3.0 application, using ~> 0.5.3 for elixir_ale.

As far as I can see at this line in the c source code the value from the sensor is "discarded" to return either 1 or 0. Is that correct?

I was thinking to try to extend that myself and send a PR, but I wanted to check first if it's a good idea or not. Thanks!

Hi - GPIO's can only be low (0) or high (1). There are no other values. I didn't look at the datasheet for the sensor, but from the webpage it looks like it has its own special form of morse code for getting temperature values from it.

I see that you found the slack channel for help. Hopefully others will be able to assist. I'll be there this evening.
