[SOLVED] One Wire library, what's behind

I am trying to use several DS2401 on a single 1-wire line. For a single DS2401, I can read the 64 bits rom code using the read rom command (33h) but a soon as I have two DS2401 on the same bus, there’s collisions (normal, both wants to answer at the same time). There’s a Search rom command on the DS2401 (opcode F0h) so enumarting the number of devices is possible. However the Search_IsDevicePresent doe snot returns any true value in my case (even with a single DS2401).

What could be wrong?

Solved, the problem was a wrong device ID…

I just had to say, I never thought much about deer until this moment…

I don’t have a DS2401. Here’s my excerpts from the datasheet trawl I’ve just done…

[quote]Read ROM [33h] or [0Fh]
This command allows the bus master to read the DS2401s 8-bit family code, unique 48-bit serial number, and 8-bit CRC. This command can only be used if there is a single DS2401 on the bus.[/quote]

So the ReadROM command will always “fail”.

I would suggest the best way to approach this is by scanning the bus with the SearchROM command. Here’s a sample code that just collects IDs of all OW devices on the wire.

        public static void Main()
        {
            bool ledState = false;

            OutputPort led = new OutputPort((Cpu.Pin)FEZ_Pin.Digital.LED, ledState);
            const short MaxOWDevices = 20;
            ushort temperature;
            ushort temperature_fraction;

            byte[] ow_readvalue = new byte[9];

            byte[][] OW_List = new byte[MaxOWDevices][];
            char[] OutStr = new char[40];
            short OW_number = 0;

            short i = 0, j = 0;

            // Change this your correct pin!
            OneWire ow = new OneWire((Cpu.Pin)FEZ_Pin.Digital.Di7);

            for (i = 0; i < MaxOWDevices; i++)
            {
                OW_List[i] = new byte[8];
            }

              if (ow.Reset())
                {

                    OW_number = 0;
                    while (ow.Search_GetNextDevice(OW_List[OW_number]))
                        OW_number++;
                    Debug.Print("Found: " + OW_number + " devices");
           }
thread.sleep(timeout.infinite);
}

This is possibly a better scenario anyway - evaluate what devices you have on the bus and then figure out what that means?

hope this helps

Ah cool - those addresses are beasts to type in :wink:

Your reply came in while I was typing away it seems…
