Hi Pascal, Thanks for this awful chip - i just ordered a free (thanks again) demo board ... What are your plans for availability - lets say if i want to use this device for a commercial application - are the chips still available in, lets say, 10 years ?!?! thanks a lot, marcus.

Hi Rob, If you plan to use OUT pin for pwm, a *pullup against +5v* is recommended. Other pwm don't need external pull up/down. You may connect directly the FET gate to the header, tinyboard already have a 470 ohms resistor between OUT pin and header. For an inductive load, it is recommended to

Hi marcus, Availlability: I really don't have a cristal globe to tell the future, even less over 10 years... But if for any reason I would stop this activity, I will pass the relay to someone else, or even open source the project... My short planning is to propose alternate board based on the

I am writing a 1 wire slave library for the AVR series of microcontrollers. That should allow you to do all the stuff you want. Hooking into OWFS might be a little tricky if everyone implements their own functionality though. If a standard set of functionalities can be agreed on, (counter,

I can't believe the counter DS2423 is obsolete. How are the 1wire weather guys going to count rain drops ? Now that's two devices (with the variable potentiometer device for light/ballast dimming) that is obsolete without maxim replacement. Although saying that it is opportune that the BAE0910

I have a few thoughts on this. First, I would love to see a model for DAC as well as PWM for output. A simple two double byte model with a 16 bit set for signed output and 16 bits for log gain. Clearly there is nothing that you are going to hook to a 1-wire bus that is capable of this kind of

We've intermittently worked on this. I have one student who has made the beginnings of PIC code for OW slave interface, although has implemented very few of the commands so far. I also have some C code intended for compiling for the Atmel to implement the timings and raw read/write for slave

First, I would love to see a model for DAC as well as PWM for output. Well, i view DAC as primarily a hardware interface to either PWM or PIO features. The chips themselves (at least AVR) do not directly support DAC, but you can either do PWM with a Resitor+capacitor smoother, or a R2R
