Colin, I'm forwarding this to the developers list for more discussion.
The question is support for the DS9123O (that's a letter "O" at the end) adapter. Apparently a PIC-microprocessor USB adapter. Dallas knows about it, they have the Appnote: http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/appnote_number/3489/ln/en It sounds like part of the Battery Management group. Unfortunately Dalls is split/brained and the 1-wire people don't talk to battery management even though they use the same protocol and the battery management people have the cooler designs in many cases. The Appnote says it's recognized as a HID device -- standard mouse/keyboard intereface. That's encouraging. There's a Linux Journal article about libhid which sits on top of libusb. This would be a cross-platform solution to interfacing with the DS9123O. All we need is sample code or specs. It's relatively easy to add support for new adapters, the code is fairly modular. We'll need some information, however. Is this a commercial offering? Paul -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: DS9123O On Friday 02 September 2005 18:16, you wrote: > > The DS9123O is new to me.

Didn't try that, because the device doesn't seem to be recognized by the kernel. After it's inserted, these show up in /var/log/messages: Aug 30 14:19:57 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 Aug 30 14:20:02 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:20:02 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 Aug 30 14:20:02 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9 Aug 30 14:20:07 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:20:07 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 Aug 30 14:20:07 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10 Aug 30 14:20:12 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:20:12 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 Aug 30 14:20:12 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11 Aug 30 14:20:17 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:20:17 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 Aug 30 14:21:22 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 Aug 30 14:21:27 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:21:27 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 Aug 30 14:21:27 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13 Aug 30 14:21:32 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:21:32 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 Aug 30 14:21:32 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14 Aug 30 14:21:37 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: unable to read config index 1 descriptor/start Aug 30 14:21:37 redwall kernel: usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -110 And the device doesn't show up in /proc/bus/usb/devices. I figure that's the first step in making it work. After that it would just be a matter of getting the programming API.
