Re: Dallas Semiconductor's MicroLAN (Re: Addressable rice.)

The only software I know about that runs MicroLAN under Linux is the
XidarML project. It's developed 1996 and the source and documentation
is still version 1.0.0. Is this a good or bad sign?
Anyway try!

I've intended to use this for my home control and climate system,
but I've not yet got deep into the Xidar software. The software
seems well structured, so hopefully, it will be easy to start using
it. In case somebody already are using this it would be nice to
hear your experiences.
It has support for the DS1820 termometer and DS2407 IO-port, but
just in case, anyone has happened to make any updates for these
DS2480 serial 1-Wire interface
DS2409 MicroLAN Coupler
DS2450 1-Wire Quad A/D Converter
I would be glad to take part of your code.
