#76435 - RE: how to detect iButtons on the 1-Wire net Responding to: ???'s previous message |
As described in the Dallas (Maxim) documentation - they generate a reset pulse - thus it is easy to detect which reader has a button touched on it. After getting this reset pulse, your software can read the device. Also, security wise, it is easy to duplicate a one wire device with a little 8 pin micro. Smart card with crypto is much more secure. |
