 Pseudo-devices that show real-time information on the system
Files
File name Chips Mode Function Comments
address all ascii-ro Full 64 bit unique chip address in uppercase hexidecimal. Concatination of familycode, id and crc8.
aux
 DS2409
 directory
 Subnet of the 1-wire bus
 Switched in and out of the 1-wire bus as needed. Cannot be active at the same time as main.
backlight LCD ascii-wo Turn LCD backlight on/off 0=off 1=on
branch
 DS2409
 directory
 Subnet of the 1-wire bus
 Switched in and out of the 1-wire bus as needed. Cannot be active at the same time as aux.
chargepump DS2890 ascii-rw Turns on/off charge pump. 0=off, 1=on
counter DS2415 DS2417 DS2423 ascii-rw Counter value (32 bit)
  • 2415 2417: Clock value as an integer. Increments 1/sec if running. Changes in value are reflected in date value
  • 2423: 2 external counters (read-only)
counters LCD ascii-ro Counter values (16 bit) For the LCD: 4 counters counting transitions on the GPIO. Zeroed with each read. Comma separated integers. The counters are read simultaneously, but only isplay at once if called with the counters.ALL which can be quite confusing. See the cumulative property for a better approach.
crc8 all ascii-ro Cyclic reduncancy check byte (8bit) if chip address in uppercase hexidecimal.
cumulative
 LCD
 ascii-rw
 Cumulative counter counts. (Doesn't autozero, but can be written).
 LCD function (with caching). Allows the counters to be queried with worrying about the automatic resetting that the LCD controller performs. To reset, write "0". To make persistent, read and save the value on exit, and restore on startup.
data LCD binary-rw Byte LCD data for slow screen update.
date DS2415 DS2417 ascii-rw Counter interpreted in UNIX date format. Reflects number in counter. Only changes when running. Standard format "Thu Aug 21 23:22:51 2003". Blank entry interpreted as "Now."
detail iButtonLink ascii-ro iButtonLink internal version information
enable DS2417 ascii-rw Set/Get the clock interrupt. 1=interrupts enabled, 0 disabled.
family all ascii-ro First 8 bits of unique address in uppercase hexidecimal. Used to figure device type and supported functions.
flags DS2415 ascii-rw 4 bits user memory. Single number 0-15. Kept as long as battery has charge.
gpio LCD ascii-rw State of General PIO pins (digital sensors or switches) Four comma separated values. 1=conducting, 0=off
humidity DS2438 ascii-ro Relative humidity (%). Derived value for a published circuit. Requires Temp, VDD and VAD conversions, so slow. Tested on device from AAG Electronica.
id all ascii-ro Middle 48 bits of unique address in uppercase hexidecimal. Used in device name as extension. Unique with family code.
interval DS2417 ascii-rw Interval index for interrupts. Value 0-7. 0=1s 1=4s 2=32s, 3=64s, 4=2048s, 5=4096s, 6=65536s, 7=131072s. Time can be inspected in itime
itime DS2417 ascii-rw Interval time between interrupts, in seconds. Choose from 0s, 1s, 4s, 32s, 64s, 2048s, 4096s, 65536s, 131072s. Sets the next highest choice. Setting 0 will disable, otherwise enabling intervals is a separate process. Interval will reflect the choice.
latch
 DS2408
 ascii-ro
 Has the PIO pin changed state?
 Reset with each read.
LCDon LCD ascii-wo Turn LCD screen on/off 0=off 1=on. Turning on clears screen, even if currently on.
line LCD ascii-wo Text to display on line N of the LCD. XX is the LCD screen width. Lines 0-indexed. Text space padded. Other lines are not erased. N: 0 to 3. XX: 16, 20 or 40 characters.

  • 2505: 64*32 bytes EPROM (write once)
  • 2506: 256*32 bytes EPROM (write once)
  • LCD: 112 bytes EEPROM
PIO DS2405 DS2406 ascii-rw Switch state. 0=non-conducting, 1=conducting.

power DS18S20 DS18B20 DS1822 DS2406 DS2408 ascii-ro How is the device powered? 0=parasitic 1=external Vcc
present all ascii-ro Device present (responding). Does this particular device (at this unique address) currently respond?
register LCD binary-rw LCD register memory. See HD44780 LCD-II data sheet.
running DS2415 DS2417 ascii-rw Set/Get the clock state. 1=clock running, 0 stopped.
scratchpad DS18x20 DS1822 DS1920 DS2438 binary-ro Contents of the 8 byte scratchpad registers See docs for functions. Configuration and data output.
sensed DS2405 DS2406 ascii-ro Logical value sensed at PIO pin. Only useful when PIO non-conducting.
screenXX LCD ascii-wo Write to screen of width XX. Clears screen first. XX is width of screen 16,20 or 40 characters.

temperature, fasttemp DS18x20 DS1822 DS1920 DS2436 DS2438 DS1921
 ascii-ro Temperature
 Reported as float to 4 decimals. Units depends on temperature scale selected on command line. Default Celsius. Max supported accuracy(12 bits) except fasttempX (9 bits). Usually slow response since system waits for conversion.
type all recognized chips ascii-ro Dallas Semiconductor chip name. At least one of the variants. Often there is a free chip, and ibutton with the same family type.
