MX2 Dallas 1 wire Bus

Post by dhookerlds »

Are there any utilities for exercising/testing the Dallas 1 Wire bus on the LK202-24-USB. I have a Dallas DS2450 (4 input ADC) connected.

LCDC will allow you to exercise the 1-Wire bus, in order to read temperatures.

However there currently isn't any testing software that I am aware of for other 1-wire devices.

However, any software that will allow you to send data to the display would be able to function as a simple utility to do this. The command to search for 1-wire devices is 254 200 2. And the command to do a 1-wire transaction is 254 200 1 [flags] [SndBits] [RcvBits] [Data].

You may read more about this in our manuals.

I have a small util which will show all connected 1 Wire devices, for your convenience I added the DS2450 so it will show the correct name and description (DS2450, 1-Wire Quad A/D Converter)

I don't have a DS2450, so I'm not able to write a small testing utility. If you are familiar with C#, it should be pretty easy. If not, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
