Hi Foster,
Don't apologize about being new to linux. There's a bit of a learning curve
to the command line, and owfs is designed to be easy to use from the
command line.
1. No need to ./configure or recompile to use the configuration file
A. The ./configure when you build the program is entirely different than
using a config file in owfs
B. when you start an OWFS program, like owhttpd for instance
/opt/owfs/bin/owhttpd -F -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p 4444
you are starting the web server with address "localhost:4444" to
talk to a DS9097U serial adapter on serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 and use the
Fahrenheit temperature scale for display. The program is located (in this
example) in /opt/owfs/bin directory -- where compiling from source will put
it
You could start the program like this:
/opt/owfs/bin/owhttpd -c //home/foster/owconfig.txt
And make a file /home/foster/owconfig.txt that has
-F
HTTP: -p 4444
-d /dev/ttyUSB0
C. Eventually, if you want to run owserver as well as owhttps and owfs
you can expand your config file to:
-F
HTTP: -p 4444
SERVER: -d /dev/ttyUSB0
SERVER -p 4304
!SERVER: -s 4304
FS: -m /mnt/1wire
and use the same config file for all of them
2. Each of the owfs programs does something a little different:
owfs creates the virtual filesystem
owserver allows other programs to connect, including owread and owdir
owhttpd creates the web server
Since only one program should be talking to the physical 1-wire bus
master, you should use owserver and have the others talk to it.
Actually, there really is no downside to always having owserver being the
intermediary - the overhead is negligible.
