Re: [Owfs-developers] Limited Simultaneous Conversions?

Paul, I would like to +1 this ability. I have a couple buses that have more sensors than I would like because of physical limitations. I have regular stability problems with simultaneous reads. After reading this, I suspect that I am at the limit of the power available on the these buses for

Which physical interface? Typically DS2483s, sometimes DS9490, and also the LinkUSB, although I've only so far used the LinkUSB on my Windows boxes with LabVIEW and ibfs64.dll and the TMEX API. If you meant which interface abstraction, I mount owfs to owserver. Colin On 7/11/2014 10:37, Paul

What interface do you you use for these reads? We could make owread (or the owcapi interface) multithreaded. On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 1:27 PM, Colin Reese wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Thanks for the detailed response. > > Yes, the concern is power draw. We find that converting groups of > sensors simul

Hi Paul, Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, the concern is power draw. We find that converting groups of sensors simultaneously by ROM actually scales quite well. Using the TMEX API, you can easily issue a Skip ROM (xCC) followed by a Convert Temp (x44) to convert all devices simultaneousl

Hi Colin, I wonder if OWFS can already do what you want. If not, I have some ideas. OWFS has a "simultaneous" command to trigger temperature conversion. 1. It works on all the sensors on a bus, using the trick that there is a command to select the single slave on a 1-slave bus (for efficiency) b

Hi, I've tested you implementation. owserver is started by systemd when for example owget tries to connect - great! I'm sending three patches, first updates autotools machinery to use proper --prefix in units and copy the units during "make install". second adds unit for socket activation and
