Matthew, 1. Hello and welcome aboard 2. The best place for questions (and answers) is the mailing list. http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=85502 3. The only driver you will need is for the user-space filesystem, FUSE. http://fuse.sourceforge.net 4. Almost all the devices are supported, you don't need anything extra. This includes temperature, memory, switches, voltage, current, timers, counters and some LCD and humidity 3rd party devices. 5. Access to the data is via filesystem, web server, or perl/python/tcl/php

G'Day, I hope you do not mind me emailing you out of the blue like this, but I was not sure where to take this question. I have recently been introduced to 1-wire, and now need to put a 1-wire device onto a Linux system --- considering I am still learning what they are, your OWFS will make this all a lot easier for me. I just have a simple question about kernel, however. Obviously I will need to compile in 1-wire support, but do I need to get a driver for the specific device I have, or are they all so similar that the basic support is enough? I had assumed I would need a specific driver, but I have not found anything about any such drivers yet. I expected I would need to write my own driver first, but had hoped to find an example from a similar device to use as a guide.
