2009-07-23 Thread Jim Kusznir
Hi all: We've been moving our owfs data collection servers over to sheeva plugs, and have been experiencing really good results...except for one minor problem. Everything works perfectly if the 2490 is plugged directly into the sheeva's single USB 2.0 port. However, we wanted to connect

Lightning took out my DS9097U serial adapter yesterday. So I am thinking about replacing it with the HA7E. I am looking for opinions regarding preferances for the HA7E versus the DS9097U. Am I correct in assuming they are similar in function? Also your favorite places for acquiring an HA7E

The HA7E (and the LINK) use a simple ascii interface that make it possible to communicate with miniterm or something similar directly from the command line. They both do more of the 1-wire discovery on-board, and have specific support for some popular chips (temperature, memory). OWFS supports
