SPECIAL PROPERTIES¶
pages/page.0 ... pages/page.7 pages/page.ALL¶
read-write, binary
Memory is split into 8 pages of 8 bytes each. Only the pages 3-7 are really
available, and some of that appears to be reserved. See the datasheet for
details.
ALL is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.
temperature¶
read-only, floating point
Temperature read by the chip at high resolution (~13 bits). Units are
selected from the invoking command line. See
owfs(1) or
owhttpd(1) for choices. Default is Celsius. Conversion takes ~20 msec.
VAD VDD¶
read-only, floating point
Voltage read (~10 bits) at the one of the chip's two supply voltages. Range VDD=
2.4V to 10V, VAD=1.5 to 10V.
vis¶
read-only, floating point
Current sensor reading, as a voltage difference. Value is in volts.
Actual current depends on Rsens resistor (see datasheet).
The formula for current is I = vis / Rsens
with units in Amps and Ohms.
Current measurement will be temporarily enabled (see
Ienable ) if not
currently enabled (pun intended) for this reading.
CONFIGURATION PROPERTIES¶
read-write, yes-no
Current Accumulator Configuration flag bit. If "on" (1) current
is stored in page 7 bytes 4-7. If "off" (0) that page can be used
for general storage. See the datasheet for more information.
read-write, yes-no
Current Accumulator Shadow flag bit. If "on" (1) current
reading is stored to EEPROM. If "off" (0) that data will be lost
when chip loses power. See the datasheet for more information
IAD¶
read-write, yes-no
Current A/D Control flag bit. If "on" (1) current measured at
36.41 Hz. If "off" (0) current measurements won't be made. See the
datasheet for more information.
DATE PROPERTIES¶
date¶
read-write, ascii
26 character date representation of the
counter value. Increments once
per second.
Setting
date to a null string will put the current system time.
Accepted date formats are:
Sat[urday] March 12 12:23:59 2001
Apr[il] 4 9:34:56 2002
3/23/04 23:34:57
current locale setting (your system's format)
disconnect/date¶
read-write, ascii
26 character date representation of the
disconnect/udate value. Time when
the battery pack waws removed from the charger. Format is the same as the
date property.
disconnect/udate¶
read-write, unsigned integer
Representation of
disconnect/date as a number. See
udate for
details.
endcharge/date¶
read-write, ascii
26 character date representation of the
endcharge/udate value. Format is
the same as the
date property.
endcharge/udate¶
read-write, unsigned integer
Representation of
endcharge/date as a number. See
udate for
details.
udate¶
read-write, unsigned integer
Time represented as a number.
udate increments once per second.
Usually set to unix time standard: number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. The
date field will be the unix representation (ascii text) of
udate
and setting either will change the other.
HUMIDITY PROPERTIES¶
HIH4000/humidity¶
read-only, floating point
Relative humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
This value is for a design based on Honeywell's HIH-4000 humidity sensor.
HTM1735/humidity¶
read-only, floating point
Relative humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
This value is for a design based on Humirel's HTM-1735 humidity sensor.
DATANAB/humidity¶
read-only, floating point
Based on DataNAB's humidity sensor. It uses a HIH-4000 sensor and the current
sensning rather than voltage readings from the DS2438. Calibration values are
stored on chip, and a check field is stored in chip memory.
DATANAB/reset¶
write-only, yes-no
Used to read calibration values and set the chip to current reading more. Should
be automatically called when a humidity reading is requested.
humidity¶
read-only, floating point
Relative humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
The
DS2438 actually does not read humidity, but a widely available and
publicised circuit based on the chip, does. This design is for the common
Honeywell HIH-3610 humidity chip. The mostly compatible HIH-4000 chip uses
different temperature compensation, so is better read from the
HIH4000/humidity value. See the datasheets for details.
If the chip is instead a DATANAB design, the
DATANAB/humidity value will
be automatically used.
BAROMETER PROPERTIES¶
B1-R1-A/pressure¶
read-only, floating point
Pressure reading, as milli-bars, or other unit depending on
settings/units/pressure_scale.
This value is for the B1-R1-A barometer from Hobby-Boards, and assumes the
standard calibration.
B1-R1-A/gain¶
read/write, floating point
Calibration of pressure gain, as signed number, expressed as the same units as
B1-R1-A/pressure per volt.
This value will be multiplied with the measured voltage to get the
B1-R1-A/pressure reading. It may have to be fine tuned for calibration
purposes, although with the standard sensor, it will often be good enough to
keep it as is.
B1-R1-A/offset¶
read/write, floating point
Calibration of pressure offset, as signed number, same units as
B1-R1-A/pressure.
This value will be added to the
B1-R1-A/pressure reading. The default
value is 904.7 millibars, which may be altered to to compensate for elevation.
SOLAR SENSOR PROPERTIES¶
S3-R1-A/current¶
read-only, floating point
Photo-diode current, in micro-amperes.
This value is for the S3-R1-A solar radiation sensor from Hobby-Boards. Due to
noise and offsets, this value may read as a negative number in low light
conditions. The
offset register can be modified to reduce the offset as
much as possible.
S3-R1-A/illumination¶
read-only, floating point
Illumination, in lux. Always a positive number.
This value is the lux reading from the solar sensor, taking
S3-R1-A/gain into
consideration.
S3-R1-A/gain¶
read/write, floating point
Calibration of photo-diode gain expressed as lux per micro-amperes. The default
value is for the SFH203P photo-diode from Osram, used bare. A different gain
may be used for instance to compensate for an integrathing, white sphere
placed over the diode.
This value is for the S3-R1-A solar radiation sensor from Hobby-Boards, using
the SFH203P photo-diode from Osram.
MULTISENSOR PROPERTIES¶
MultiSensor/type¶
read-only, ascii
For
iButtonLink's MultiSensor line of 1-wire devices, give the specific
configuration based on a data byte set in memory. (Byte 0 of page 3). This can
help interpretation of the sensor values, distinguishing, current from water
from light.
offset¶
read-write, integer
Correction for
current readings. A value between -256 and 255. See the
datasheet for details. Should be set to the negative of a true zero
current reading.

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.
DS2438¶
The
DS2438 (3) is a more complete form of the
DS2436 battery chip.
Current sensing is available, but not implemented. The major advantage
compared to the
DS2436 is that two voltages can be read, allowing one
to correct circuit measurements for supply voltage and temperature. A better
comparison is the
DS276x family of chips.
ADDRESSING¶
All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is
of the form:
- Family Code
- 8 bits
- Address
- 48 bits
- CRC
- 8 bits
Addressing under OWFS is in hexidecimal, of form:
- 01.123456789ABC
where
01 is an example 8-bit family code, and
12345678ABC is an
example 48 bit address.
The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be
correct.
