Petr, It would be nice to have an easily added facility to extend OWFS for these "one-of" devices. I presume there would be specific memory addresses with known format that would have a meaning (like 0x0122-3 are int16 "angle") and PIO.A is "motor on" Seems like a configuration file and parser would work. I haven't done anything like that for years. Text? XML? Once parsed, this process wold be vary fast, and easy to intergrate into the current design. The only question is whether it should include small "programs" like the process needed to get humidity or thermocouple readings, which need several different properties read and set, in order. Paul

DS2431 (1024-Bit 1-Wire EEPROM) is coming to mind as a good candidate. IMHO it can be possible to write commands (sense of rotation of the motor, speed, number of steps, acceleration, etc...) to the Microchip memory (acting as DS2431 EEPROM) through 1-wire network. Microchip (according to the received information) will control motor and will write feedback information (the real position of the motor for example) to an other part of the EEPROM so it will be possible to read this information from the 1-wire network. I will appreciate your comments. Petr
