NAME¶
owperl - perl interface for the 1-wire filesystem
SYNOPSIS¶
OW.pm
use OW ;
OW::init( interface );
OW::init( initialization string );
The full set of initialization options is extensive. They correspond roughly to
the command line options of ,B owfs (1)
owhttpd (1) and
owftpd
(1)
OW::get( path );
OW::put( path , value );
OW::finish();
DESCRIPTION¶
1-Wire¶
1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and
manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed
low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.
Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a
wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature,
voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data loggers. More complex
devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices.
There are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.
The 1-wire scheme uses a single
bus master and multiple
slaves on
the same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The slaves can be
individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.
Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c,
network or USB adapters.
OWFS design¶
OWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its
devices easily accessible. The underlying priciple is to create a virtual
filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the individual
properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and
written.
Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent
interface. The goal is to provide an easy set of tools for a software designer
to create monitoring or control applications. There are some performance
enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to
bus masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundemental
goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correctness rather than speed.
owperl¶
owperl (3) is a perl module that provides an interface to OWFS. The path
to each 1-wire device is the same as
owfs (1) . Only the top layer has
been modified to return native perl strings.
owperl (3) is created by
swig (1) (
http://www.swig.org) which can
be easily modified to support other programming languages.
FUNCTIONS¶
OW::init( interface )¶
interface
Location of the 1-wire bus:
- "u"
- Direct connection to the 1-wire interface on the USB port --
DS9490
- /dev/ttySx
- Direct connection to a 1-wire interface on the serial port --
DS9097U or DS9097
- port | :port | IPaddress:port
- Location of an owserver daemon that connects to the 1-wire bus.
Multiple owperl as well as owfs and owhttpd programs
can access the owserver process simultaneously. In fact, this will
probably be the preferred mode of access to OWFS for owperl except
in trivial applications.
EXAMPLE¶
perl -MOW -e "OW::init('/dev/ttyS1'); printf OW::get('´);"
