Bus Topology There's a picture at http://owfs.org/index.php?page=divide-and-conquerorthat may help. Basically, OWFS has a list (internally) of it's bus connections. They could be a serial DS9097U, USB DS9490R, i2c DS2481-100 or a network connection to owserver. By default, all these bus

Thanks Paul, What a great explanation. Clearly I need to get more than one adaptor onto the system to really test things out. I can see some use in being able to find which bus a device is on, however for the application I'm looking at I can do this in software. More investigations to

All the programs either link in the libow code or query owserver, so they should all be able to use the bus.x entries, unless the particular implementation adds a layer that filters out this function. I don't know about owphp specifically. Paul On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 12:14 PM, Stuart Poulton
