This library implements the Maxim 1-Wire protocol (see https://www.maximintegrated.com/en.html) on the AVR ATTiny85 microcontroller.
As a software implementation of 1-Wire, it is unique, or at least novel, in that the tight timing requirements are implemented through the onboard timer device. It is a very accurate implementation of 1-Wire.
This package is the work of Nick Andrew nick@nick-andrew.net and is not associated with Maxim Integrated nor Atmel. All code is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3.
Two GPIO pins are in use, one for the 1-Wire protocol and the other one to enable a strong pullup (to provide power for passive powered devices). These pins are set at compile time.
The 1-Wire pin defaults to PORTB4 and the strong pullup pin defaults to PORTB1.
Only an 8 MHz CPU frequency is supported at present. Overdrive is not supported as the CPU is not fast enough.
See test-harness.c for typical usage.
The 1-Wire protocol is documented in Maxim Integrated Application Notes, including:
- AN1796 "Overview of 1-Wire Technology and Its Use"
- AN126 "1-Wire Communication Through Software"
- AN187 "1-Wire Search Algorithm"
- AN162 "Interfacing the DS18X20/DS1822 1-Wire® Temperature Sensor in a Microcontroller Environment"
- Datasheets for the DS18B20 and DS18S20 digital thermometers
Compile test-harness.c and use a logic analyser to examine the output at all state transitions.
