The line referenced is a call to the OWAPI library for the DS2408 device. What I see is that mcsTemperature is expecting the Dallas drivers to be from
ftp://ftp.dalsemi.com/pub/auto_id/li...ers_v400b3.exe

If you have an earlier version then I do not think the DS2408 was supported. If you have a later version then it does not work with MSJVM as mcsTemperature is expecting.

Do you have any 1-wire devices other than DS2408 that are being used with mcsTemperature?

Mcstemperature V6 with DS2408

Hi michael,


I have no problems with other 1-wire devices, just with the DS2408 !!!!
Can you provide me the prerequisites for the versions of 1-wire , Microsoft JVM and other drivers for mcstemperature installation ?

My Dallas version : V4.00 beta3
Microsoft JVM installed
java 2 runtime environment SE v1.4.2_19
mcstemperature 6.0.07
.Net framework 3.0 Pack 2


Thanks

When I look at the Maxim site at the following and select an older 32 bit OS option then a newer package looks to be available that looks to be install_1_wire_drivers_v400.msi. The only other dependency I know of MSJVM. Piever has posted in this forum about using the DS2408 and I know he had success so if the new download does not do it then you may try contacting him.

Mcstemperature V6 with DS2408

Hi Michael,


In fact the problem is due to the OWAPI.DLL installed by "ftp://ftp.dalsemi.com/pub/auto_id/li...ers_v400b3.exe". This Dll is in v1.0 and don't support the new features like DS2408 and for resolve this issue the V1.10 or above of this Dll is needed see : "http://www.maxim-ic.com/products/ibu.../1wire_api.cfm."

Question : have you this DLL in your system and if is ok , can you send me please

The link I gave you above, if you select a older 32 bit OS, should provide the latest COM version of the drivers which is not a beta. I do have beta 4, but it is older than the released one.
