I am running current git master on raspbian jessie.

I manually replaced everything default jessie installed re. owfs (2.9p8?) with 
the new files. 

I had to remove the owfs built files in /opt to get it to start on boot but 
it's all running well since - I guess systemd may be trying to start both but 
I don't know enough about systemd to even check

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

[Jerry Scharf]

Hi,

I'm not sure what you are doing, but I have two long runs with 10s of 
18b20s on at least a couple hundred feet of cat5. The way I do it is 1 
pair for +5, 1 pair for ground and one pair that is out and back data 
lines to the punch down panel (I know it's a bus, but star wiring is way 
easier in a building.) I hate to think what the effective capacitance on 
the data line is. Driven by two different Link interfaces.


I do get occasional errors, but it works pretty well.

I just tested with a 100 feet of different Cat5E and it works.
The cable that doesn't work is off a 200 foot length of outdoor Cat5 bought
online. What is the chance that this latter cable is faulty. It tests good
with a able tester, but that is just continuity. What other factors are
there?

How can I buy cable and know it's good stuff and not junk?? (I need 170
feet.)

I'm on a remote island in B.C. Canada. Cannot go to the corner store and

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

[Colin Reese]

Well, the best way to use it would be to double twisted pairs as like
conductors, but you'd have to do your own breakout for that. It would be
well worth it.

i.e.:

BLU - 5V
BLU/WHT - 5V
GRN - GND
GRN/WHT - GND
BRN - DATA
BRN/WHT - DATA

Re: [Owfs-developers] New install of OWFS on RPi running Jessie

[Colin Reese]

rc.local still runs. I have it run boot.py and that handles manual startup of 
everything there. Whether owfs is started and on which interface is determined 
by an 'interfaces' table in the 'system' SQLite database, as is which web 
server (if any) is started. This is the reason for the update-rc.d remove 
commands throughout the install script. 

There is also a daemon run from cron periodically to ensure desired Python 
daemon scripts (there are a handful) are running, and dispatch email 
notifications if things appear awry.

Wow! That's a pretty comprehensive install script - obviously everything you 
have which is awesome.

I’ll cherry pick all the apt-get stuff that I need. I’ve just downloaded the 
Jessie-Lite SD Image that doesn’t have the “kitchen sink” in it. 

What are you doing with the /etc/init.d startup scripts as I am told that the 
whole start-up sequence has changed on Jessie now? Does the 2.9.5 package still 
generate all the right init.d start-up scripts and all “just work” still if I 
do a “make install"?

My cable issues don't yet have to do with connectors. From posts I have
read here I was under the impression that 1wire would work over Cat5 up to
100m. Not for me. I am testing with one sensor, a waterproof DS18B20 from
Adafruit. Longest cable that works is about 45 feet. I have tried a LinkUSB
and a HobbyBoards powered master. Using a Raspberry Pi.

Re: [Owfs-developers] New install of OWFS on RPi running Jessie

[Colin Reese]

I keep 2.9.5 in my repo and give it a make install on every automated build I 
do. I am on raspbian and also Jessie and both work great. I use ds2483, 
however, not linkusb. See here (swig lib-fuse et al at top and owfs down below)

[Owfs-developers] New install of OWFS on RPi running Jessie

[Alex Shepherd]

Hi Guys,

I’m giving my OWFS based heating system an update.

Currently I’m running on a RPi 2 with Wheezy 7.10 and some LinkUSB adaptors and 
am wanting to reinstall on the latest releases.

I’m trying to do a clean install onto another RPi running Jessie and using the 
latest release doing an 'apt-get install owfs’ but it didn’t seem to want to 
start properly.

I then went and got the current source code and have done a build (once I git 
all the dependant libs etc) but just wondering what the current recipe is to 
get a good stable system on an RPi?

Any suggestions?

Regards

Alex Shepherd

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

[Colin Reese]

You have a source for ip rated with screw terminals? I never found one. I 
looked at xlr some time ago and was unsatisfied with what I found. Another 
equipment vendor I know uses them, but 'pretty waterproof' is insufficient for 
an end-user product if I sell it on.

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

[Steinar Midtskogen]

I struggled a few years with the most terrible connectors that you can
use outdoors, rj12 or rj45, then switched to XLR connectors, which are
cheap and sturdy.  You can get IP67 rated XLR connectors as well, but
even the cheapest XLR connectors seem to work well with basic humidity
protection.

I made a couple of switchboxes using XLR connectors and put them in
metal mailboxes.  They've worked well for about 10 years now.
