Hello There! I have just recieved a prebuilt package with a USB DS9490 adapter, and two temperature sensors (ds18s20) on the 1-wire bus. I got it as a christmas present :)
And I had planned that I should use owfs together with the temp sensors, and to logg and display temperature curves on a webpage. I run a Mandriva 2007.1 as a personal server, and I downloaded the following packages from the sourceforge download section. owfs-2.7p2-1.src.rpm owfs-libs-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm owfs-mon-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm owfs-server-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm owfs-fs-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm owfs-man-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm owfs-php-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm owfs-shell-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm I first Installed fuse and fuselibs that I dident have, then I tried to install these rpms like this: rpm -i owfs-libs-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm rpm -i owfs-server-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm rpm -i owfs-fs-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm rpm -i owfs-man-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm error reading information on service owman: No such file or directory error: %post(owfs-man-2.7p2-1.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 rpm -i owfs-shell-2.7p2-1.i586.rpm error reading information on service owshell: No such file or directory error: %post(owfs-shell-2.7p2-1.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 All above where done as root. If anyone knows why two of these packages dident wanna install, ill be intrested. I dident know which of these rpms that I acctually needed, I havent found a description for them. Since I use Mandriva Linux that is a rpm package based distribution, I thought that I should use the rpm's that were available. I have tried to read up on owfs on both owfs.org and on sourceforge project page. I managed to start the server like this "owfs -C -u -m /mnt/1wire" after I created the mountpoint directory /mnt/1wire, and did a "modprobe fuse" that is. and could read temperature like this. "cat /mnt/1wire/bus.0/10.53AE60010800/temperature" What is the temphigh & templow directory on the same level as temperature? I see mine is on 70 and 75, and how do I use those? I have created /etc/fuse.conf with a single line "user_allow_other" and after that I thought I should restart owfs, but I dont know how to do that in the right way, Im guessing killing the process isent the right way? "man owfs" doesent show how to do it. I tried to google how to stop owfs and read that "umount /path/mountpoint" should do it, Is this correct? It seems to work well when I had added my fuse.conf, because after that I could read temp as a normal user :) Also one of these rpms created startup scripts for me like "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K05owfs" & "/etc/sysconfig/owfs" should I replace the last files entry OPTIONS[0]="-d /dev/ttyS100" with OPTIONS[0]="-u" since I have a usb master (ds9490)? Now It remains to try to use it to logg and show off curves. I have read briefly about some mentioning using mysql for storing the data, and I have heard from a forum that some peopl use cacti for showing data. And I have seen the temploggerd, that I thought perhaps I can download and read the instructions from. I will be intressted if you have some tip on how to store the temperature data (and time/date of course) in smart way, so that I't can be backuped and restored in a straight forward way, when I reinstall my OS wich I do every 6-12 months. I have to say its very intressting software you developers have created here :) Best regards Patrik Andersson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
