Re: [Owfs-developers] raspberry Pi and 1-wire

2012-02-17 Thread Stuart Poulton
I've started to wonder about other improvements in mounting / housing the Rpi http://go.je/191 I've now got samples of DS2483R's which look like a great way to provide a low component count 1-wire adaptor. Thoughts about 1-wire & RPi welcome please. Stuart

Ok, firstly GPIO's on the RPi are 3v3 not 5v so not suited to longer distance, there is no buffering or protection present. I believe that an i2c driver chip provides a more robust solution than simply bit banging a GPIO pin. Stuart On 18/01/12 09:07, Sven Geggus wrote: > Stuart Poulton wrote:

Not sure why you wouldn't want to have the benefits of running OWFS on the RPi itself ? On 18/01/12 09:03, Roberto Spadim wrote: > we could use rspberrypi as a ethernet-serial proxy, and execute owfs > at server side for example > > 2012/1/18 Roberto Spadim : >> why not ds2480b+? with uart or usb-

Because I felt that i2c offered more options, and keeps the serial port free for things that might be serial only. On 18/01/12 09:02, Roberto Spadim wrote: > why not ds2480b+? with uart or usb-uart interface? > > 2012/1/18 Stuart Poulton : >> I've had a go at designing a RaspberryPi 1-wire breakou
