Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

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

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

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 C On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 5:17 PM, Peter Hollenbeck

I just said: "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

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

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

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

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

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. Colin > On Jun 6, 2016, at

Re: [Owfs-developers] Cable Length

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
