[Owfs-developers] Device Support

Hi, Are they're any plans to support the i2c<->1 wire bus master DS2482-800, obviously this would require some support at kernel level ? Stuart --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends appl

No timestamp. You can easily poll every second, however. Is that fine enough resolution? Paul -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Lavallée Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 9:50 AM To: owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Ow

Hello! How do you mean? "Are they're any plans to support the i2c<->1 wire bus master DS2482-800, obviously this would require some support at kernel level?" The current levels of the Linux kernel support the basic and complicated I2C communications methods. I should think that Maxim is fully awar

Ok, after looking at the datasheet and the i2c specifications it looks quite possible. My impression is that i2c application depends on the actual hardware. Are there any known PC devices using the DS2482? If nothing else, it certainly will be difficult to test without a device. The DS2482 looks

Hi Paul, I've got an application, an embedded platform (geode CPU) has I2C but not serial or USB available. I'm really looking at supporting 18B20's in the first instance, if itwas possible to support 2 such devices this would provide a very useful temp logging solution. Stuart - Ori

Great, you sound like a beta tester! How does one talk to the i2c in your case? Which module? Is there any example code? Paul Alfille -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stuart Poulton Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 4:03 PM To: owfs-developer

[Owfs-developers] Help Designing a 1Wire system

Hello, I am kinda new to this. I have fiddled for a while but now need some help. I am designing an alarm system for my workplace, it is to put on display items (cd players/dvd players/cameras). I am looking at making a controller unit (WRT54 possibly) that connects to "hubs" accross the shop. The

1. The DS2408 should be able to sense 8 pins. I guess week pull-ups with circuit to ground until interrupted. 2. You can wire them all on one 1-wire bus or segment it. 3. Scanning several times a second should be easy. You will have a list of known DS2408's. #!/usr/bin X=/1wire/29.* while : fo

hello, thanks for your input... So will it be able to handle 100+ ports (divide by 8) approx 13 2408's? as well as a couple of keypads/buzzers/lcd screens? also how would i go about using a ibutton keyfob for user authorisation? instead of using a key to reset/turn on/off the alarm i want to use

so you saying having ~20 2408 chips and say 10 other arbitary devices (lcd, programmable buzzer) is gonna be too many devices to run with owfs... i am hoping to run it on an embedded system, perhaps the nslu2, wrt54g or perhaps if i have to an VIA EPIA Board... I thought that 1wire could handle 30
