[Xml1-wire-devel] New take on XML 1-Wire Tagging

[David S. <dav...@da...>]

All

See Scott's announcement below.  This release contains
a XML 1-Wire solution.  It has some similar lineage to
the source forge project but goes off in a slightly 
different direction and is pretty fleshed out.  The 
XML files can be on the desktop filesystem or on the 
1-Wire devices themselves.  There is an application
that will automatically read these files and spawn
windows representing each sensor/actuator.

All the examples (the ones without GUIs) were built against the latest
version of the TINI SDK (version 1.02c) and a corresponding .tbin is
included.  Get the version 1.02c of the TINI SDK here:

Paraphrased from the Readme, here's a list of what's new:

New OneWireContainers Added
- OneWireContainer22 for the DS1822, 1-Wire Digital Thermometer.
- OneWireContainer24 for the DS2415/DS1904, 1-Wire Real-Time Clock.
- OneWireContainer27 for the DS2417, 1-Wire Time Chip with Interrupt.

New Hygro iButton, HumidityContainer
- Application support for Humidity sensing devices, including the DS1910
Hygro iButton.  A demo is included.

New SHA Transaction API
-  High-level transaction architecture intended to ease the development of
custom secure applications.  Support for DS1961S (SHA EEPROM), DS1963S (SHA
NVRAM), and a DS1963S coprocessor is no longer required as it can be
simulated.

New 1-Wire XML Tagging
-  Framework and demo application for using XML stored directly on the
device to "tag" each device with grouping information.  GUI demo
applications are included for viewing and creating 1-Wire Tags.

New OpenCard support classes for Java iButton
- API to abstract communication with SmartCards and JavaCards like the Java
Powered iButton. (See http://www.opencard.org)


Enjoy!
