OWW-OPENWRT

This page is for information on getting oww to work on openwrt.

CONTRIBUTORS

melb_ap [7]

BACKGROUND

OWW stands for one wire weather and is a weather monitoring system
based around the Dallas one-wire protocol and the Dallas example
weather station kit available from aag
The oww software allows for remote monitoring of the device over tcp
so you can get the wind speed & temp at your poor freezing remote
wireless node on the hill !

OS VERSION USED

openwrt RC5 (2.4 kernel)

HARDWARE USED

wl-500gP with dallas one wire weather station kit and rs232 adaptor
but any ap with 3.3v serial, openwrt support and enough flash space
can be used.

DISCUSSION

Feel free to add your own contributions.

melb_ap [8] 8/7/08 : I'm currently working on this project to get the
dallas weather sensors running at various node locations.

THE NLSU2 unslung site has the oww software available compiled for
openwrt and the wl-500gP but I haven't quite got it to work just yet.

I have a max232 and the dallas rs232 interface connected to the
wl-500gP
but running ./owwnogui -i in /opt/bin just hangs the router at
present.

I've verified it works ok on a pc with the AAG software which was
also handy to get the sensor serials required for oww's devices
config.

Trying a usb to serial adaptor atm, note serial is /dev/usb/tts/0

Yah we have data

01/01/00 , 00:08:29 , 20.1,�¯�¿�½C , 0.00, MPH,
WNW ,292.5 , 13 , 0.00, inches

After much work and some help from some other members I have a
working configuration.

If your looking at this project , use the RS232 to one wire adaptor
and the A-Ten USB to serial converter.

I'm not aware of openwrt support for the USB to one wire device.

And for time sync , just use rdate once you've set the correct time
zone.
