Running "grep CRC *c" from within module/owlib/src/c/ should give you a 
a good idea of what devices use CRCs.

After a quick check, it seems like the DS18x20 sends a CRC8 when the 
scratchpad is read, and the 2423 uses a CRC16 in some operation.

The HobbyBoards devices (driver in ow_eeef.c) do not seem to use CRCs 
for anything.

The HobbyBoards hubs are based on the 2409, which does not seem to use CRCs.

In one bus with only 12 DS18B20s (I'd say this bus has a decent long 
run), I currently see 0 errors in 111534 CRC8 tries (no CRC16 tries in 
this bus).

On another bus with 2 custom, microcontroller-based devices and 2 
DS18B20s, I see 143/10276 CRC16s and 215/14004 CRC8s. This does not mean 
anything, though, since those errors are caused by bugs in my firmware 
and not because of physical/electrical problems with the bus.

In your case, I think the bottom line is that since you are seeing some 
CRC errors, there is likely some physical/electrical problem with your 
wiring or bus.

Cheers,

Eloy Paris.-
