DS1993(3)

💾 DS1993 — 4kbit Memory iButton 💾

okay bestie, welcome to the DS1993(3) page from the One-Wire File System manpages ✨ this little cutie is an iButton, and if you've never met one, imagine a tiny metal coin that just... holds your data. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

DS1993 — the 4kbit Memory iButton, no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Non-volatile memory. she remembers things even when the lights go out 💖

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

---

👑 FAMILY CODE 👑

06 — DS1996

(yes, that's what the page says. we report, we don't editorialize 💀)

---

✨ SPECIAL PROPERTIES ✨

🍓 memory

read-write, binary

512 bytes of memory. that's the whole storage situation, and she's using it 🌈

🍓 pages/page.0 ... pages/page.15, pages/page.ALL

read-write, binary

so the memory is split into 16 pages of 32 bytes each 🎀 and ALL is an aggregate of the pages, like a group chat that contains every page. Each page is accessed sequentially.

---

💜 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. lowkey the reverse one is the one everybody else uses 🙈

🦋 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. same vibe as r_address, just the middle bits ✨

🦋 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. bestie really said "I contain multitudes (of orderings)" 💅

🦋 present (DEPRECATED)

read-only, yes-no

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

⚠️ heads up: this one is marked DEPRECATED in the original. she's retired, respect her legacy 🫡

🦋 type

read-only, ascii

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

🚨 ALARMS 🚨

None. not one alarm. the calmest girl on the bus 😌

🌈 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. power AND data on one wire? multitasking queen 👑

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. files as devices, devices as files — it's giving "everything is a file" and honestly? she ate 🔥

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. periodt. 💅

🧚 DS1993

The DS1993 (3) is an iButton with static memory. Data is read/written with error checking (transparent to the user). The DS1992, DS1993, DS1995, and DS1996 differ in their function by the amount of on-board memory they possess. (The internal protocols are slightly different, but the OWFS system handles this automatically.)

so yes, the siblings are basically the same girl with different closet sizes 💖 and you don't have to worry about the protocol drama, OWFS handles it.

---

🌟 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.

🚨 "it must be correct" is not a suggestion bestie, if you include a wrong CRC it's over for you 😭

🌸 and that's the whole page bestie! this was OWFS Manpage, dated 2003, for DS1993(3) 💅 go read your iButton, she's been waiting 🎀💖
