FF
write-only,yes-no
Write a non-zero value to turn on the LCD backlight. Write zero to turn
off.
read-only,unsigned integer
Read the number of times the gpio has been externally changed. If wired to a
push switch, will count twice per button press. The LCD firmware resets all
the counter when any one is read. Use the ALL extension to read them
all, simultaneously, or use the cumulative property instead.
ALL is an aggregate of the properties, comma separated. Read
atomically.
read-write,unsigned integer
Cumulative sum of the counters property. To reset, write a zero. The
cumulative counter can have any value written, which allows preservation of
counts across program restarts if the value at program termination is
stored.
Reading cumulative will reset the counters property. All the
cumulative counters will be updated so that no counts will be lost. Reads of
counters can be interspersed without losing cumulative
accuracy.
Note: cumulative requires the caching system be compiled into
libow.
ALL is an aggregate of the properties, comma separated.
read-write,unsigned int
Contents of the LCD data byte (see datasheet). Not usually needed.
write-only,yes-no
Write a non-zero value to turn on the LCD screen (also clears). Write a zero
to turn off.
write-only,ascii
Write text to the LCD screen. Assumes 16/20/40 char width. (Cannot be
determined from controller).
ALL is an aggregate of the properties, comma separated. Each is set in
turn.
read-write,binary
112 bytes of on-board memory.
read-write,unsigned int
Contents of the LCD register (see datasheet). Not usually needed.
write-only,ascii
Write text to the LCD screen. Assumes 16/20/40 char width. (Cannot be
determined from controller).
read-only,ascii
Self-reported LCD controller version. 16 bytes.
read-only, ascii
The entire 64-bit unique ID. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
address starts with the family code
r address is the address in reverse order, which is often used
in other applications and labeling.
read-only, ascii
The 8-bit error correction portion. Uses cyclic redundancy check. Computed
from the preceding 56 bits of the unique ID number. Given as upper case
hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
read-only, ascii
The 8-bit family code. Unique to each type of device. Given as upper
case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
read-only, ascii
The 48-bit middle portion of the unique ID number. Does not include the family
code or CRC. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
r id is the id in reverse order, which is often used in other
applications and labeling.
read-only, ascii
Uses an extension of the 1-wire design from iButtonLink company that
associated 1-wire physical connections with a unique 1-wire code. If the
connection is behind a Link Locator the locator will show a unique
8-byte number (16 character hexadecimal) starting with family code FE.
If no Link Locator is between the device and the master, the
locator field will be all FF.
r locator is the locator in reverse order.
read-only, yes-no
Is the device currently present on the 1-wire bus?
read-only, ascii
Part name assigned by Dallas Semi. E.g. DS2401 Alternative packaging
(iButton vs chip) will not be distiguished.
None implemented.
1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.
Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.
The 1-wire scheme uses a single bus master and multiple slaves on the same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The slaves can be individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.
Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.
OWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.
Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correctness rather than speed.
The LCD (3) controller is a microprocessor driven device
that simulates the operation of 1-wire devices. It's creator has arbitrarily
chosen the family code FF. The controller requires external power.
Full details are available from the designer.
The main draw of the LCD controller is as any easy way to provide
output to users.
All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:
Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:
where 01 is an example 8-bit family code, and 12345678ABC is an example 48 bit address.
The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.
