Hi, Jan Kandziora: I specifically think of onewire chips built into laptop batteries. As soon a user encounters such a device, wants to monitor it through the usual kernel hardware monitoring interfaces *and* connects some devices to the laptop through owfs (e.g. servicing my vending

[Owfs-developers] How should we chain?

2007-08-01 Thread Paul Alfille
The new DS28EA00 is a temperature chip that has a special chain mode to tell location. Specifically there are in/out pins that tell which chip is connected to which. The description of chaining is at http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/an/AN4037.pdf and the DS28EA00 is at

Hello! We've gone all over this many times before. I know, I started a thread and watched it evolve past its prime, but it seems to have surfaced yet again. On the RJ11 PDF that Maxim-IC/Dallas has prepared, (and is available there someplace) it describes which two wires are chosen as the

Presumably, the reason you are using chaining is so that you don't have to deal with device IDs. So one natural way to interface a chain is to make a chain directory and put the chained devices inside it, named 0, 1, 2, ... This way the order of the chain is naturally established by the alpha
