owfs 2.7p32 (binary only) - DEPRECATED⚓︎

This package provides functions similar to the digitemp package, with the
advantage that a larger selection of chips is supported. Integration into
the Freetz interface is not available yet.

For longer distances (x00m), the 1-Wire bus should be built at least
with shielded/twisted-pair cables. As with any bus, branches must not be
too long, i.e. less than 1 m, so reflections do not interfere with the
data signal. The DS9490R USB 1.1 adapter has currently been tested as a
bus master on a Fritzbox.

The package is built without FUSE support, but the shell tools provide
equivalent functionality. In general, an owserver must be started; it
serializes and manages requests to the bus. Connections use port 4304 by
default.
owserver --usb=ALL

owhttpd is a mini web server and allows convenient bus debugging through
a web browser
(http://fritz.box:99)
owhttpd -s 127.0.0.1:4304 -p 99
Of course, it does not necessarily have to run on the Fritzbox, because
the -s option defines the TCP/IP connection parameters to any
owserver.

owdir, owread, and owwrite allow easy reading and writing of 1-Wire
devices in the shell or in shell scripts.
