Major 1-wire problem
« on: January 21, 2008, 07:14:48 AM »
As of 11 hours ago, I have been at work, WD flat lined on everything, and none of my sensors are being recognised on my 1-wire network.
I'm running a DS9097U, and in my 1-wire port selection, when I have it plugged in...it selects the port fine.
Then in 1-wire viewer application, it does appear there too.
As soon as I plug my HB hub or anything else for that matter, in the 1-wire viewer, it says 1 device then no devices, one device then no devices.. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I have checked the leads from the DS9097U to the hub/wall with my line checker, all are straight. I am thinking its the DS9097U.

I guess you have tried the M$ favorite trick of chutting the PC down and then re-starting - because if it worked before, it should work again unless something is broken...  have you changed any drivers lately?  Updated the latest full WD install program?  updated any Windows drivers - eg .NET 2.0 ?

Sorry - grasping at straws but all these issues can upset the PC seeing the devices on the network...

Is the power injector plugged in and working?

This sound familiar.........

You may want to have a look through THIS thread and see if there's anything in there that will help, it's quite a long thread but read it all the way through before trying anything.

Graeme's questions are worth answering as that may point to the cause.  :wink:

Mine still isn't working BTW, although the adaptor is stable no the OneWireViewer now.

Hey all....this is the strangest thing...I have not touched ANYTHING at all recently. was running WD from about 5 weeks ago....updated that...nothing. restarted comp...nothing. Windows updated on the 9th, this happened today the 21st. and Budgie cant find anthing on those threads thats simillar to my drama. I can recognise my DS9097U...plug anything else in its screwed! I have just ordered a new one. Thats the only thing I can think of......some component in it has S#@t itself.

Update. I did a system restore to sunday the day before this happened...plugged all in and nothing. :(

I think that it is my hub, or the DS9097U. The green light on the "out" of my hub has dimmed I think. Its now the same brightness as the"in" on my power injector...this shouldnt be the case should it? Any ideas on what could have done this, or if this should even be a problem?

Regards Tom.

hmm sounds to me very much like the 1 wire line after the temp sensor isnt getting enough power for some reason, the dim LED also points to this ,Maybe the power injector has stopped working.

What exactly is your layout / used sensors etc starting from the PC adapter?.

Try unplugging the baro (take it out of the chain), but leave everything else as it is and see if that helps.

Hey there, as I said in a previous post, I can recognise my DS9097U...plug anything else in its screwed! This still stands unfortunatley. even if I just plug in the temp/hum, it wont work.

hmm thats not good. i Suppose the only other thing would be to try another adapter, maybe yours has given up the ghost?

Have you checked the cables to make sure there's no short in them?
That's my next move when I get chance to get up on the roof.

Are you able to connect one of the sensors to the adaptor using a, new, short cable and see if it's detected? That would prove or disprove the adaptor, then put the hub in and connect the sensor to that to prove the hub. If these work then you can start working back from there.  :wink:

Indeed, the only other thing that i can think of would be either short circuit or crossed wires, but if he has tired different combos of cables and sensors then to me it suggests something to do with the host adapter.

Checked all cables, and all are good....had my line checker on em, and fiddled round with them, thinking maybe a sporatic problem, but no.

Will get a new adaptor tomorrow or thursday, so will try that!

When it all went south, it was just so sudden, which makes me think some componant has gone.

Well update……new adaptor fixed my problem till I plugged it all back in, then I blew it againL I just blew $70. All my leads are spot on…..my LAN checker tells me that.

 

In the 1-wire viewer, it recognized everything I plugged in at the computer….hub, temp/hum on a short lead, and the wind on its normal lead thru the roof….could it be that the baro or rain is blowing something in the adaptor?..when I plugged in the baro, it recognized something…I cant remember exactly, but it didn’t say barometer on the viewer.

any ideas?

Then in that case maybe your power injector has a fault and is shorting the circuit?
