This is the cct I constructed..its output is 4-20mA however using a 250ohm resistor it provides 1 - 5 VDC which I feed into one channel of a DS2450 A/D. What you guy's are taking about sounds great ...direct connect from sensor to 1wire input http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/rjconway/4-20

We use a 2450 based A/D converter (http://www.aip.de/People/wbittner/1wire/ADWandler.pdf) for Temperature and pressure (air) sensing. The sensors are 4-20mA (industrial, made and calibrated by a local company here in Potsdam, Germany). But I was never realy happy with the resolution. We have anoth

[Owfs-developers] Crashing owserver

We have the following problem here: When accessing an owserver (connected via a ds2480 rs232 device), we have at first very good performance. We read/write values mainly through a java client program (which we now changed to more closely follow the way owshell behaves). Then, after some time, the

I'm pretty new to Owfs and have been using Digitemp until I decided to use a relay with DS2406 switches. So figured I better learn to use Owfs. It has not been good! I get the same issue with the DS18S20 reading 85C in my house. I know that Digitemp != Owfs, but Digitemp works fine with the DS2

Unfortunately, I've had some experience with the HA7NET boxes... Based on some information that I'd received that indicated that there is a technical problem with most of the humidity sensors at low humidities, and the fact that the testing we do is at low humidities, we bought one HA7NET box and

Michael, Any chance your java app is opening connections but not closing them? It's just guess, but I've made this mistake before. jerry Michael Weber wrote: > We have the following problem here: > > When accessing an owserver (connected via a ds2480 rs232 device), we > have at first very good

I might have this problem solved. At least on the box testing it on. Need to put it back on the original box and see. But it appears my problem was due to the way Hobby Boards Hub powers the devices on it's branches and they need to be in powered mode. Not parasitic. I had it powered, but somet

HA7Net works, but is not close to optimized, yet. I have one of the devices, and so it's only a question of finding time. Basically the HA7Net gives a web display to 1-wire devices. They have some pre-programmed support for a few devices, but also allow a "raw" mode to send byte sequences to a de
