Accessing 1-wire devices on Raspberry Pi using OWFS
To connect 1-wire serial devices to the RPi I am using a DS9490R USB 1-wire adapter (rather than wiring I2C 1-Wire master components to GPIO I2C - which I might look at sometime down the track) Install packages sudo apt-get install owfs ow-shell Edit config file vim /etc/owfs.conf ! server: server = localhost:4304 # USB device: DS9490 server: usb = all ######################### OWFS ########################## mountpoint = /mnt/1wire allow_other ####################### OWHTTPD ######################### http: port = 2121 ####################### OWFTPD ########################## ftp: port = 2120 ####################### OWSERVER ######################## server: port = localhost:4304 Create Startup Script I created a startup script for owfs modelled on the owserver script (not sure why this one is actually missing) vim /etc/init.d/owfs #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: owfs # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $network $named # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog $network $named # Should-Start: owfs # Should-Stop: owfs # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: 1-wire file system mount & update daemon # Description: Start and stop 1-wire file system mount & update daemon. ### END INIT INFO CONFFILE=/etc/owfs.conf DESC="1-Wire file system mount" NAME="owfs" DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME case "$1" in start) echo "Starting $NAME" $DAEMON -c $CONFFILE ;; stop) echo "Stopping $NAME" killall $NAME ;; *) echo "Usage: $N {start|stop}" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 Starting daemons /etc/init.d/owserver start /etc/init.d/owfs start Checking output #ls /mnt/1wire/ Should show output similar to: 10.575349000000 12.95DD17000000 alarm simultaneous uncached 10.575349000000 12.95DD17000000 bus.0 statistics 12.57DD16000000 81.B2EA2E000000 bus.1 structure 12.57DD16000000 81.B2EA2E000000 settings system cat /mnt/1wire/10.575349000000/temperature Will then show…
