Hi Paul, I've taken another look at it and it seems like the write actually is working. Before, I had an Arduino sketch loaded that was also poking at the DS2404. Now, with a different sketch that doesn't touch the DS2404, writing via owfs seems to work. The reading is still not quite right... a

The design depends on there being a difference between the air temperature and the water temperature, which may or may not be the case in general. If there is any risk of them being at the same temperature you could address the problem by attaching a heater resistor to each sensor. Then the water

The DS2404 has never really been tested. I'll work with you to see if we can make it work. As for accessing just parts of memory, it's not really possible via the shell. The underlying libow API supports writes (and reads) with offsets and a length. owcapi supports this. owperl supports this. Pau

Hi, I've got a few DS2404 chips and I'm playing around with them and an Arduino. I've got the Arduino connected to the 3-wire port and my laptop connected via a USB dongle to the 1-wire port. The DS2404 is getting +5V and ground from the Arduino board. My laptop is running Gentoo with owfs 2.7-

I'm doing something to monitor lake temperatures that I am currently working on. For your application, it is a good design. There shouldn't be much difference in your water temperatures at different water levels. Any lighting could affect your air temperatures, but might actually "help" your ap
