Yes, the presence pulse can disrupt communication. That's one of the reasons there is a built-in retry in owfs for read and write, and very conservative settings for checking checksums and verifying writes. As I read it, the presence pulse makes more sense in a microprocessor-based system (like an

There is a way for slaves to announce their presence on the bus by providing a presence pulse when they are powered up. I'm not sure if all slaves to this or just some (or all) of the iButtons. Also I don't know which masters or software supports this, it is mainly used for things like door loc

Hello All, Thanks for the replies. (Sorry for any delay in replying - I only logon at intervals). Everything so far is as I understood it. My problem is that I don't actually understand it properly - but because I am at the point of designing a new system, I need to. On 13 June 2012 02:01, Eloy

Phil, As has been said, there is no true alarm interrupt. There are some chips that can have high and low alarms and a polling mode that only sees alarmed sensors. Still, it is not worth it for me. The cost of doing the actual polling for 30 sensors is fairly low if you first send a simultaneo

Hi All, This may, or may not, be applicable to this list. However, I am hoping that someone here knows enough about MicroLAN to be able to clarify something for me. Up to know, all my sensors have been polled. Simplistically speaking, the PC asks "What is the temperature now?" What I am ponderin
