Hi,
I’ve been searching the forum and found some info about dallas 1 Wire lightning, but all the info is from 2005, and all the links are dead.
I have bought the following:
1-Wire USB Adaptor DS9490R-P
Adaptor Cable RJ45 to RJ11 3ft (1m) CABLE-A-P
Lightning Detector (Moisture Resistant Coating: Yes (+4.00)) LD4-R1-A
Power Injector PI2-R1-A
The power adaptor to the Power injector I all ready had.
I have installed the 64 bit java and the drivers to the USB adaptor. I have connected the cabled correct and I have installed a 9v battery in the lightning detector.
With the software OneWireViewer I can see the following devices:
Device Address: 5300000030BD8B81 (81 8B BD 30 00 00 00 53)
Name: DS1990A
and
Device Address: 450000000FC69E1D (1D 9E C6 0F 00 00 00 45)
Name: DS2423
The second device is the lightning detector (counter).
The hardware seems to work, but here is my question and need for a little help.
How do I setup the WD to use my 1 wire hardware and even more important: How do i test the lightning detector ?
I have heard, that an electronic lighter can be uses as a lightning, but is that correct ?
This is the lightning detector: http://www.hobby-boards.com/store/products/Lightning-Detector.html
How much antenna do I need, and do I even need something for a simple test ?
Any updated help will be appreciated and I would love to see creendumbs from the Weather Display for the setup.
Thanks
Henrik
