Re: [Owfs-developers] different access performance

I think the 9bit temperature is fasttemp or temperature9 (equivalent). There are faster temperature sensors, like the DS2438 that measure continuously. (Or the DS2750 DS2760 DS2770 DS2780 and variants). Or the EDS environmental sensors. (EDS006X) Or the HobbyBoards UVI sensor. Paul -

Right. Actually --debug is a shortcut for full debugging in the foreground. Paul On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 8:54 AM, Mark RichardsLoad it manually at the command line and include these parameters: > > --error_level=9 --foreground > > eg: > /usr/bin/owserver --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -p 4304 --e

Welcome! I'll guess answers without actually testing. In all cases, actual 1-wire communication is the slowest part of the process. Each bit transmitted is 62usec The owshell approach requires a new process for every 1-wire call. Linux processes are supposed to fairly light but it's probably the

Hello again, there are problems on my ARM9 with Debian Squeeze to run owfs. All the compilation went fine, but during runtime it needs the fuse kernel module "fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first" (i guess it misses fuse.ko). But this module seems not to be available on Debian Squeeze
