DS1963L(3)

🦋 DS1963L 🦋

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about the 256 byte Monetary iButton — and yes it's from the One-Wire File System family of manual pages (that's the manual name, consider it folded in like a lil bookmark 💖). this thing is literally a tiny money purse on a wire and i am obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

DS1963L — 256 byte Monetary iButton

---

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

Non-volatile R/W memory with counters

1A [.]XXXXXXXXXXXX[XX][/[ pages/count.[0-15|ALL] | memory |
pages/page.[0-15|ALL] | address | crc8 | id | locator | r_address | r_id
| r_locator | type ]]

---

🎀 FAMILY CODE 🎀

1A

---

🍓 SPECIAL PROPERTIES 🍓

page/count.[0-15|ALL]

read-only, unsigned

okay so here's the tea 🫖 — every single write to the memory page bumps the counter up. that means an application can literally tell if the memory got changed by another process. no sneaky edits. the counter always knows. 👑

Only 4 pages are actually connected to counters, and they're the main characters:

Counter1

page/counter.12

Counter2

page/counter.13

Counter3

page/counter.14

Counter4

page/counter.15

---

🌈 STANDARD PROPERTIES 🌈

address

r_address

read-only, ascii

The entire 64-bit unique ID, given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

address starts with the family code. r_address is the address in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling. (yes bestie, reverse order, it's giving backwards-but-make-it-fashion 💅)

crc8

read-only, ascii

The 8-bit error correction portion. Uses cyclic redundancy check. Computed from the preceding 56 bits of the unique ID number. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

family

read-only, ascii

The 8-bit family code. Unique to each type of device. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

id

r_id

read-only, ascii

The 48-bit middle portion of the unique ID number. Does not include the family code or CRC. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

r_id is the id in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.

locator

r_locator

read-only, ascii

Uses an extension of the 1-wire design from iButtonLink company that associated 1-wire physical connections with a unique 1-wire code. If the connection is behind a Link Locator the locator will show a unique 8-byte number (16 character hexadecimal) starting with family code FE. If no Link Locator is between the device and the master, the locator field will be all FF.

r_locator is the locator in reverse order.

present (DEPRECATED)

read-only, yes-no

Is the device currently present on the 1-wire bus?

⚠️ bestie this one is DEPRECATED, it said so itself, i'm just the messenger 😭

type

read-only, ascii

Part name assigned by Dallas Semi. E.g. DS2401. Alternative packaging (iButton vs chip) will not be distinguished.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

1-Wire

1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power. (yes, the data line is also the power line. it's doing two jobs and it's not even complaining. main character energy fr fr.)

Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included. 🔐

The 1-wire scheme uses a single bus master and multiple slaves on the same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The slaves can be individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.

Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.

OWFS design

OWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.

Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correctness rather than speed.

like yeah sure it's fast, but the vibe is usable and correct first. periodt. 💚

DS1963L

The DS1963L (3) is used for read/write storage. It's main advantage is for audit trails (i.e. a digital purse). Each write to pages 12-15 will increment the read-only counter. OWFS system handles this automatically. 🫶

🧚 ADDRESSING 🧚

All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:

• Family Code — 8 bits
• Address — 48 bits
• CRC — 8 bits

Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:

01.123456789ABC

where 01 is an example 8-bit family code, and 12345678ABC is an example 48 bit address.

The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.

⚠️ no cap: if you include the CRC and it's wrong, that's on you bestie, it must be correct.
