USB power on the original Raspberries was a source of constant

I'm talking about the Raspberry Zero W, which has a built-in SDIO WLAN
adapter and a built-in antenna. No fiddling with USB needed (though USB
power isn't much of an issue anymore since the Raspberry B+).

Please don't use the owfs binary. It has an unsolvable race condition.
Use owserver and access it through the owwrite, owread, owdir, owget
shell tools or through one of the language bindings.
$ owserver --i2c=/dev/i2c-0:ALL
