I did some more testing. It turns out that the version doesn't matter. It's just that sometimes I get an empty bus, sometimes not. A restart of owserver seems to be what it takes to change it. Digitemp, however, always lists everything. The setup: Linux PC->owserver->5 m active USB extension cord->USB-RS232 converter (pl2303)->DS9097U->UVI sensor. This is just a test setup. When I get the sensor properly installed, everything might be ok in that setup. I've previously seen owserver miss devices that digitemp reports, but that has involved 1-wire hub(s). An owserver restart seems to fix it in those cases as well, at least for a few hours until devices begin to disappear again. I wonder if this is the same thing. By the way, an idea for owserver (perhaps as an option): let it fork at startup, let the child do the usual stuff and have the parent restart if the child crashes. In my pretty complex setups, owserver crashes happen from time to time (usually days or weeks apart for 2.7p22, later versions seem more unstable), so I use an external watchdog to restart owserver when it dies. I haven't been able to figure out what causes these crashes or disappearing devices. I've had one setup with about 20 devices that never has had any problems, currently owserver was started 323 days ago, still running... My 1-wire networks are made up of about 125 sensors using 10 different 1-wire adapters on 6 different computers (mostly Linksys NSLU2) on 3 different locations. -Steinar > > Paul Alfille > > On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 3:56 PM, Steinar Midtskogen > <stei...@latinitas.org> wrote: >> Paul Alfille <paul.alfi...@gmail.com> writes: >> >>> Eric Vickery at Hobby Boards has just released a new device that measures >>> ultraviolet index: http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/links/uvi2-r1/ >>> UVI%20Meter%20User%20Manual.pdf >>> >>> Release 2.7p26 >>> >>> Supported and tested (thanks the Eric's generosity) fully. http://owfs.org/ >>> index.php?page=uvi >> >> It works in 2.7p26, but not in the latest 2.7p35.
