1-wire reader & laser sensor

I found the file you suggested and attached a screen shot of its location on my PC

Also…this is a site that may help? It is where I downloaded the 64-bit driver

https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/ibutton/software/tmex/download_drivers.cfm


Thanks…

UPDATE:

I tried to download the 32-bit one-wire driver from this site

https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/ibutton/software/tmex/download_drivers.cfm

but this failed because an applet popped-up and recognizes my PC running 64-bit Windows 10 and locks me out of downloading a 32-bit version.

Ideas?

try then deleting the 1 wire IB *.dll files from where WD is installed

Which of the files in the attached screen shot of my search shall I delete?

Thanks


not those ones
the IB *.dll files from where WD is installed
(see my post)
not in the wow64 directory
but in the c:\wdisplay directory

i.e the IB97E32.dll and other IB (other name after that) dll files

OR
you can try deleting those IB dll files in the windows system folder and keep the ones in the WD folder

in your email it seems that the error you were getting about the port/driver in the WD 1 wire reader program is now gone, yes?
that is a step in the right direction

i think you now need to have set in WD, under control panel, com port setup, dallas 1 wire, set there. I want to use a 1 wire device.

in one of your screen shots of the WD 1 wire reader, it shows that WD is picking up the HID OK

This link to a technical article may be helpful to developers of the current dallas1wirereader.exe program and others with possible driver issues.

does that mean you got it to work?

No. It is not working.

Not working how exactly
Any error message now?
The more info you can provide the better
Saying it does not work does not help

Hi.
You also need to tick “enable to calculate current snow depth” in the dallas 1 wire reader vers 5.7, as i remembered.
this for auto reading, from, also try set lr4 program to every 10 sec only for test.

Also when it worked for me no dallas driver was nessesary to install.

Good luck.

See also some info here:


My LR4Sample programs(eg LRsimple) log data at whatever interval I set in the LRDemo app.

In WD despite the fact that the Dallas1wirereader.exe sees the Fluke 414Dand data is actively being sent from it I do not see any flowing data into the Dallas1wire reader screens, the WD main screen snow section or in updated customtext.txt or customtext.php files

There is an issue with the data NOT flowing into the Dallas1wirereader.exe (I should see it in one of the boxes?)and subsequently the WD app.

I have tried many suggestions but am stuck using an HP PC Stream 14 Laptop running Windows 10. Devices and drivers all show that they are working fine in Device Manager.

By the way I can take manual snow depth measurements and log them…it just does not happen automatically.

Thanks for your time and consideration

I need to rely on others who have one for input
do others see a data stream flowing in the dallas1wirereader?

Not me, seems I’m in the same boat. Data flows from the sensor but not into the 1 wire.

this suggests to me that the latest hardware has changed somehow to make it not work anymore
so that means what I need to do is make a new .exe program to see if I can get that to read the data
I will need testers

Count me in as a volunteer tester of new dallas1wirereader.exe versions.

Again please note that previous forum contributors had a similar problem using Windows 7 and things were fixed following their upgrade to Windows 8.1

Now it seems to be a problem with Windows 10.

Also you may remote in to my PC anytime using TeamViewer or Google Remote Desktop.

Thanks

it wont be a new dallas1wireader program (I lost the source code for that with a hard drive crash)
but a new cron program just to read the lazer snow sensor data
(and so option in WD to use that )

Why not read from the log file. Set lrtimelog to read once an hour. Have wdisplay read the log file and subtract the last reading from the first reading to get the snow depth. You should be able to extract cm’s per hour etc from that as well. The file is in the following format.

2017-12-03 15:42:43.161, 107.6 cm

Probably not that simple but it should do away with having to use the 1-wire.

try this test program

to see if the raw data flows
