owfs on Windows 7

by Colin Law-4 :: Rate this Message:

| View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I am currently using owfs on linux machines with great success.  My
son wants to setup a 1-wire system but unfortunately he has to use
Windows 7.  I have looked on the owfs site and googled and come up
with conflicting information on this.  Is there an up to date
description of what can be done on Windows and how to set it up?
Basically (initially at least) he wants to be able to log and graph
temperatures.

Colin, thank your son for providing the impetus to re-explore the Windows port.

Windows doesn't support the filesystem (no fuse) nor the W1 kernel bus master of course. I also have my doubts about the DS2482-X00 i2c bus masters, but I haven't tested that.

I spent sometime time coaxing the windows binary and installer, it's now on Sourceforge. https://sourceforge.net/projects/owfs/
If your son wants to test it out and offer any suggestions of fixes, I'd be pleased. This was generated on XP-32bit (in a virtual machine), so I can't speak to Win7.

USB has some issues:
1. You will be directed to the libusb-win32 site to download and install the windows libusb driver (version 0.12.1)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/libusb-win32-releases/0.1.12.2/libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.2.exe/download

2. Even so, you need the ds9490.inf file found at C:\Program Files\OWFS\drivers for the USB hardware install wizard.

3. Windows Firewall may ask you about owserver

------------

Of course, this is to get owserver or owhttpd to run on Windows. You can always access owhttpd running on Linux or Mac from Windows with no effort. There is also a Visual Basic access module which could be a nice development platform for using 1wire under Windows.

Paul: Many thanks for that.  We were waiting to be confident that it
should be possible to make it work before ordering any hardware (he is
remote from me so cannot try it out with mine) but will now get some
on order.

I can't actually see the windows binaries on sourceforge.  I have
looked on  https://sourceforge.net/projects/owfs/ and in Browse All
Files.  Probably it is there in plain view and I just cannot see it.

Thanks again

Colin
