User Feedback :: laptop weather station server

Libretto,

I got the sample_devices software from one of the one-wire user sites but can't remember where. I'm on travel right now and can't look at my code to see if I had to compile it or if I received it as a binary. Once I am back, I will send something to you. If you don't get it, please remind me.

Minigig,

I'm actually confused as to what the machine actually is. I thought it was a 486 but maybe it's a low end pentium. I'm pretty sure that it hasn't been overclocked. It's a Presario 1215 but when I look up the specs on that machine, I see what appears to be a much more modern machine. It had been running Windows 95 when I got it and I upgraded to @indows 98. It has no USB ports or anything like that, just a one serial port.

It has been running for weeks without a reboot. This is inspite of plugging and unplugging the network cable and the 1-wire data cable at times. I don't even have to restart the weather or web building applications. If it can't get to the internet because the router has been temporarily disconnected, it fails gracefully and tries the next minute.

I wish I could find the original manual for the machine. I would like to turn off the display while it is running.
