Maxim 1Wire Devices

[Docara]

Hi,

I'm looking to use the Maxim 1wire devices. Looking around I see that Maxim do an interface chip (DS2480B) which has a on-board hardware search facility for finding multiple devices on the 1wire bus and correct timings for communication thus eliminating the uP overhead - does FC support this chip? If not do you have any suggestions how I could use it within FC

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

Currently there is no specific component to drive this IC, however it looks like it's a fairly straightforward UART connection and it should be possible to create a program with your own macros to control the chip.

Once you have these macros you can very easily convert this into a fully working component.

Let us know how you're getting on and we can always help to try and point you back in the right direction.
