1-Wire Software

[skyewright]

BUT BUT BUT, USB adapters for datalogging is not stable enough, I have lerned from my Danish Vantage Pro friends, that they ALL have shiftet from USB to Serial.

The problems with the VP USB datalogger are quite separate to what might be the case with 1-wire USB. The following topic over on Weather-Watch.com might help an understanding of the VP situation:

I decided on some open source software called thermd.

It is a perl script that runs in the background and works on any operating system. Supports all 1-wire adapters I am aware of, generates graphs on demand and does uploads to weather underground.

It is rock solid and more importantly maintenance free for me. Have not touched it in 4 months and it has not missed a beat that entire time.

Jayson,

I am reading the thermd site, it seems like the software I want to go with, but it sounds confusing on how to setup , do you know of some better documentation or is it better to just jump in and play with it?

Its confusing on how you can call it? Im assuming that you need to use apache, then use that conf file to talk to the sensors that are on the owfs? Im using Linux and a serial adapter to access the 1-wire


thanks,
