Well, yes, FAKE. Put

server: w1

in there instead.

How to do beautiful electronics soldering:

* use a medium soldering iron (30-50W) with a small, round tip
* use Sn60Pb38Cu2 solder with 0,3-0,6mm diameter and flux core(!)
  Sn60Pb38Ag2 is fine too. Anything else is not practical for hobbyist
  purposes.
* use a wet sponge made of a cotton rag to clean the tip

All the above is crucial. If you ever want to solder more than two times
your life, use tips with iron (literally) plating above the copper. They
are totally worth it. In contrary, you don't need a fancy
thermo-regulated soldering iron.


Put the two parts you want to solder in place. Rest the tip at the
bigger lump of metal you want to heat. Usually, that is the wire, not
the board. Heat for two seconds. Put the tip to the other metal part for
a second at max. Now take away the soldering iron and push in the solder
wire *instead of the tip* for a second. Perfect soldering job.

The owfs website is the main source of documentation for owfs. For
onewire, I recommend to read the individual chips' datasheets. And then
there is "The Book of iButton Standards"

https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/937

and various other application notes on onewire from Dallas/Maxim.
