On a 1-Wire network, which Dallas has dubbed a "MicroLan" (trademark), a single controller device communicates with one or more 1-Wire peripheral devices over a single data line, which can also be used to provide power to the peripheral devices. There are no fees for programmers using the Dallas 1-Wire (trademark) drivers. The 1-Wire Protocolĭallas Semiconductor (now Maxim) produces a family of devices that are controlled through a proprietary 1-Wire protocol. Several methods are available in the Bus class to acquire data from different 1-Wire sensors (DS18B20, DS2438).

Bus class scans the 1-Wire Bus connected to an analog pin and stores the ROMs in an array. If you find a bug or have an improvement (to the library), email Please be sure you are using the latest version of OneWire.īus is a subclass of the OneWire library. OneWire is currently maintained by Paul Stoffregen. The latest version of the library is on Paul Stoffregen's site. The following sections provide information about the 1-Wire protocol, interface, power, addressing devices, reading devices and finally a short glimpse into the library's history. This article covers the basics of using the 1-Wire protocol with an Arduino with the help of the OneWire library. Devices formerly known as master are referred to as controller and devices formerly known as slaves are referred to as peripheral.ġ-Wire communication is a protocol operating through one wire between the controller device and the peripheral device. Arduino no longer supports the use of this terminology.

This article was revised on 8 by Hannes Siebeneicher.Ĭontroller/peripheral is formerly known as master/slave.
