Running OWFS on windows box

[lizard.king]

Hi

I just received my new hardware from hobby-boards. I got a masterhub plus a bunch of temp sensors which are going to be connected to the master hub. I'd like to control the one wire bus with OWFS on a windows box.

Unfortunately, I cant see the musterhub or any of his components when I start owserver to control the bus and owhttpd to display the info in my webbrowser. I guess this has something to do with the settings I'm using to start the owserver (when I use --fake=10..... the simulation works nicely).

Can someone please give me a hint how I have to specify the serial port for Owserver on a windows machine? owserver -d com1 is not accepted and owserver does not start. I have tried owserver -d /dev/com1, which started the server but I wasn't able to access the bus afterwards.

Thanks for your help and hints

Tom

Now it works!

I had to install the software on another computer and there it worked right from the start. On the machine which I used first, there seems the be some other process which blocks the com-port.

owserver -d /dev/com1 was the right commandline.
