SPECIAL PROPERTIES

   pages/page.0 ... pages/page.4 pages/page.ALL
       read-write, binary
       Memory  is  split  into  5  pages  of  32  bytes  each.  Only the first 3 pages are really
       available, and some of that appears to be reserved. See the datasheet for details.

       pages/page.0 is locked and unlocked transparently for every write.

       ALL is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.

   temperature
       read-only, floating point
       Temperature read by the chip at high resolution (~13 bits). Units are  selected  from  the
       invoking  command  line.  See  owfs(1)  or  owhttpd(1)  for  choices.  Default is Celsius.
       Conversion takes ~20 msec.

   volts
       read-only, floating point
       Voltage read (~10 bits) at the chip's supply voltage Vdd. Range 2.4V to 10V.

   counter/
       A resettable non-volatile counter intended for counting battery discharge cycles.

   counter/cycles
       read-only, unsigned integer
       Cycle counter value. Stored at memory location 0x82.

   counter/increment
       write-only, yes/no
       Any non-zero (true) value will increment counter/cycles by one.

   counter/reset
       write-only, yes/no
       Any non-zero (true) value will reset counter/cycles to zero.

STANDARD PROPERTIES

address
r_address
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.

crc8
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).

family
read-only, ascii
The 8-bit family code. Unique to each type of device. Given as upper case hexadecimal
digits (0-9A-F).

id
r_id
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.

locator
r_locator
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.

present (DEPRECATED)
read-only, yes-no
Is the device currently present on the 1-wire bus?

type
read-only, ascii
Part name assigned by Dallas Semi. E.g. DS2401 Alternative packaging (iButton vs chip)
will not be distiguished.

ALARMS

       None.

DESCRIPTION

1-Wire
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 design
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 fundemental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and
correctness rather than speed.

DS2436
The DS2436 (3) is a simpler form of the DS2438 battery chip. It has no counter, and only
one voltage sensor.

ADDRESSING

       All  1-wire  devices  are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the
       form:

       Family Code
              8 bits

       Address
              48 bits

       CRC    8 bits

       Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:

              01.123456789ABC

       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.
