LabVIEW and "USB to 1-wire" (DS2490)

[Ray.R]

OOps..  Sorry..  I should have mentionned that I am using the LinkUSB interface which emulates a DS2480B USB inteface from Dallas Semiconductor.  I am not sure how different it is from the DS9490R.

With the DS2490 you need the DLL, ibfs32.dll.

Oh yes... The DS2490 is a USB to 1-wire bridge chip..

Can you not setup the Mode Command (hex) with the appropriate number of bytes for the state registers and send it over serial?

I'm just curious..

You would have to know the commands.  I've never seen this info on Maxim's website.  Maybe it is there somewhere.  The white papers say to use the DLL.  It is free, convenient, and proven to work.  So why not use it.  I guess if you like a challange......

I happen to be working with the DS2431 and coding everything to talk to a USB-to-Serial interface using VISA. It makes life really simple. :)

Ray:  Sounds like you are having fun.  I'll stick to the DLL since all my code is already written.

you know me... I always have fun..

You’re right.

If you are interested, in attachment, you will find my code that open an USB1WireReader (DS9490) device,write x bytes (by 8bytes= one scratchpad), then read the new values  and verify the data. The  first 1wire-DS2431 found on the 1wirebus is selected.

Now, I’m looking to implement a CRC control in place of write and read to be safer.

I'm still coding my application...

Hi Marc,

I am trying to run Main_WRV_cycle .vi from the zip file. But I think some SubVI's are missing like WriteScratch.vi, and many SubVI's from ReadScratch.vi. Can you please post it if you have them?

Thanks
