Trying to read 1-Wire sensors...
Hi all, I am looking for help for my latest project. I would like to do data logging from a few 1-Wire sensors with my ReadyNAS Duo. The sensors are connected via a http://www.ibuttonlink.com/linku...
Okay, after a few more trials I got the sensor network working. Basically, what I had to do was to install two modules for a serial/USB interface, usbserial.ko and ftdi_sio.ko (in this order). The two packages were kindly provided in another thread. I have used modconf (can be installed with apt-get modconf) to permanently add them to the kernel. For reading out the sensor values, I use digitemp (installed via apt-get digitemp). If digitemp is called by a crontab job and its readings are dumped into a text file, a basic but powerful data logger can be achieved.
The sensor hardware is pretty inexpensive, and the data logger can easily implemented on a ReadyNAS, so this seems to be a really neat way to set up a sensor network for all kind of measurements. Even with my limited Linux skills ....
