Well, I made some progress on this. I'd not yet used an arduino, programmed an avr or an xbee and got this up in an evening and an afternoon. This is still not technically relevant for the listserv as it's not on owfs, but if there is a way to do that I'm game. I used the following: Rpi, Rasp

Good info. I'm not sure why it should choke on that. There are examples of sqlite for huge implementations, but I'd probably journal a log long before it got to that size. I'm fine with only one writer, and besides the database only locks for a few ms when that happens. I prefer the small, l

My current approach is to separate client/database and server/database interactions. A client can still force a read if they wish. It's essentially a cache, but I use it generally for all io, not just owfs. Logging just automagically works using the read daemon that updates the database. It also

Great questions. The simple way would be to bring the node up for a time long enough for the owfs to see it and the polling/logging control script to read it. If the script runs every 15 seconds, bring the node up for 30s and optimize from there. The more intelligent way would be to bring it

A couple of questions 1 - How are you going to handle sleeping nodes, OWFS by its nature polls the 1-wire bus. 2 - You may want to consider sample frequencies, obvious I know the faster you sample, the shorter the battery life. Based on my own work with a combined atmega328 and RF module, and

From what I've read, the series 2 are capable of mesh networking and low power mode, provided the unit is not a router or coordinator. I believe anything in a mesh that is not an end node cannot go down to a low-power state, by virtue of it needing to listen and relay from other nodes. I under

This project begs the question -- is it trivial to set up an ATTiny as a 1Wire UART bridge? I've a bunch of ATTiny85s on the Adafruit trinkets in the mail along with some Xbees from Digikey (far cheaper). I'd love to combine the two to wirelessly extend my 1Wire network. C On Thu, Dec 26, 2013 a

Colin, I've looked at Xbee as well, and indeed the feature set is rich, with meshing being of interest. Maybe I'll revisit it in the future using some of the lessons learned from my SRF, XRF, RFu work. Cheers Stuart On 26 Dec 2013, at 20:02, Colin Reese wrote: > Thanks Stuart! Great, useful

Thanks Stuart! Great, useful write-up. I definitely looked at the XRF line, especially considering the pricepoint. Ultimately the reason I chose XBee was that I anticipated users would want to connect to their other Zigbee devices, and would therefore find an on-board receiver useful for other thi
