Hi Peeps,
I am about to embark on a 1 wire bus project using devices such as the Maxim DS18S20DS18S20+ temperature sensor and other similar devices. The idea of the 1 wire bus seems groovy enough but I wondered if anyone out there had any experience of this stuff.
The concept of the project is in 2 major parts, the physical hardware implementation of devices connected ono the 1 wire bus along with a USB transciever to connect it into the main motherboard. The second part is the software which will be Linux based and the idea is to use the Linux DBUS mechanism to create a self describing (a method called introspection) platform for applications which are interested to get hold of sensor data. There is actually a 3rd parrt to this project which is the applications themselves, but before I go blabbing on in detail about the project I thought I ought to see if anyone has any comments to make first.
Fire away
