Hello! Well part of that below has been completed. I am now preparing to unpack that trial. I suspect however that I won't be able to construct an appropriate program in Delphi to manage a group of switches. Now the more relevant question for the group: Does anyone more familiar with writing Bash shell scripts have any suggestions for coding a simple script that would send a command to a mounted 1wire file system? As you can imagine the devices would be those switches. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you. Always." Obi-Wan Kenobi
---- Hello from Gregg C Levine Now that I've got the issues of building the currently available releases of the OWFS code settled I now have a new problem. Basically I need to turn on and off a DS2406 several times a second. The output it produces would be streamed to a collection of digital logic that itself is connected to a serially connected apparatus. Probably many DS2406s would be involved in this, from four to as many as eight. While the DS2408 would be an excellent choice for this, I do not want to travel down that path as yet. I had originally thought of adapting one of the examples that Maxim-IC itself had written, for Windows of course. That being their Delphi DS2406 example. But since the emulator for the serially connected apparatus also runs on Linux, and probably better at that I had shelved it. (Despite the decision to go ahead and grab a trial from Borland.) Do any of you have an idea how this could be written out using a shell script? It would have to be simple and neatly written. And very definitely not the kind of scripting that ends up being written in Perl. (There are personal reasons for this objection. If anyone needs to have this point clarified please contact me off list.) If need be I'll even accept a script written out using the TCL language. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you. Always."
