Sending this again as it did not seem to get to the list when I first
sent it this morning.

I am need of some with a USB device under Debian; trying last night
multiple times to no avail.

I have a Dallas Semiconductor Thermochron temperature data logger that I
am trying to set. The data logger (DS1921G-F5) is attached to a USB
bridge (DS1921G-F5). I downloaded their linux utilities which consist of
two simple C programs: One to set a "mission" and the other to download
the datat logged:

thermo21.c thermo21.h thermodl.c thermoms.c

The readme states:


/These utilities are used to download (thermodl) and
mission (thermoms) a DS1921G Thermochron iButton. The
DS1921Z/DS1921H are not supported with this application.

THERMODL:

usage: thermodl 1wire_net_name <output_filename> </Fahrenheit>
- Thermochron download on the 1-Wire Net port
- 1-wire_net_port required port name
example: "COM1" (Win32 DS2480B),"/dev/cua0"
(Linux DS2480B),"1" (Win32 TMEX)
- <output_filename> optional output filename
- </Fahrenheit> optional Fahrenheit mode (default Celsius)
- version 1.03

Required on the command line is the 1-Wire port name:

example: "COM1" (Win32 DS2480B)
"/dev/cua0" (Linux DS2480B)
"1" (Win32 TMEX)
"\\.\DS2490-1" (Win32 USB DS2490)
"{1,5}" (Win32 DS2480B multi build)
"{1,6}" (Win32 USB DS2490 multi build)
"{1,2}" (Win32 DS1410E multi build)

/When the device is plugged in dmesg shows:

usb 1-10: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
PM: Adding info for usb:1-10
PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.6_ep00

PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.6_ep81
PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.6_ep02
PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.6_ep83

In /dev I have:

usbdev1.1_ep81
usbdev1.6_ep83
usbdev1.6_ep02

Trying something like: /sh thermodl /dev/usbdev1.1_ep81 t.txt /results
in an error.

/Any hints on how to call the device?

Oh, man, are you serious?

First. No one interested in you prev. email sending failures, right.
Because this is a noise, not information.

Second. Debian is a software distribution. What system are using is
possible to see, after `uname -a`:

#v+
olecom@flower:/tmp$ uname -a
Linux flower 2.6.18-4-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 4 00:37:33 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
olecom@flower:/tmp$
#v-

See Linux? That means, that a guy, talking to your hardware is Linux, not
Hurd or FreeBSD, alright.

Seem, like very old doc. I've just prepared a snip from current doc,
which, you can find in the upload directory of my server:

#v+
olecom@flower:/tmp$ grep -m7 -B7 -A12 cua <linux-2.6.22-rc4/Documentation/devices.txt

OK. The main idea, that they are using standard serial port (rs232)
interface for communication here.

And unknown Windows magic here.

Is that all? His *is* the actual information. But there's no hint, that
you've cut it too late or too early. So, more output is needed.

One usb device with two endpoints(dmesg shows three). One with one (i
guess). Doc might say about what to use and how to use (but not that
you've quoted here). Try to look at sources. They provide sources for
Linux most of the time. Because Linux have stable API nonsense feature.
And those dude on Linux like to read sources.

Are you fan of the slash (i.e. `/')? Slash in UNIX-like OSes is
directory separator. It is *not* an option separator, like in the DOS.

`/sh' means loading for execution file `/sh', i.e. root directory, file
`sh'. But somehow shell got loaded and took the input, let's see.

> /thermodl.c: line 1:

Hgm. C file. Sources of the C language file.
This must be almost all you need!

The shell does not like text of the sources of the C langage from that
file. :-\

``The data logger (DS1921G-F5)''?

I just thought I would fix that for you since you seem to be a graduate
of the Sum Dum Dik school of English.

I'm truly sorry. That was a bit harsh. Perhaps some mothers can not
afford a proper tutor of English Perhaps she was working long hours for
low wage, doing her best I am sure, at some Czechoslovakian sailor wanna
hump-hump bar?

No worries. You are forgiven.

You think I would take advice from someone who named their Debian box
/flower/? Pffft...

I said it was a readme that was enclosed with the simple C programs
enclosed.

And your sentence should have been /a URL.

/ Here's a little guide for you sweet cheeks:


"Remember, using a or an depends on the sound that begins the
next word. So...

* a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: /a boy; a car; a
bike; a zoo; a dog/
* an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: /an elephant; an egg;
an apple; an idiot; an orphan/
* a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds
like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is
used); a university; a unicycle

If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an
depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immediately follows
the article:

* a broken egg
* an unusual problem
* a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with
consonant 'y' sound)"

Again, that flower thing just makes me laugh. Are /you/ serious? Why not
just be more descriptive and call the box pansy? Perhaps change your
user name to fancy pants?

How did you manage to type that reply... That is, with your head so
far up your butt?

No worries. I received a reply off list that is pushing me in the right
direction; just enough hints to make me work for the prize.

Nick

Please refrain from your attacks. 'Be nice to folks' is a general rule.
Insulting folks about background, sexual orientation, or language IN ONE
POST is beyond the pale. While folks here ocasssionaly make slight
taunts or comments at one another, it is expected that newcomers refrain
from this behavior for a while until you become familar with the norms
on this list. Also, if you want volunteers , especially on an
(off-topic) OT issue like getting a c program to compile on Debian, you
should be sugar sweet, not nitric acid. ´on-topic' would normally be
'installing debian packages','upgrading distros', 'apt/dpkg/aptitude
problems','video card or network issue'. Someone compiling a usb
datalogging device program is usually someone who knows something about
Gnu/Linux, software compiling and hardware hacking. If you do not, then
you need someones , that would be the nice volunteers here. we get
zero dollars for ing you, the least we expect is kindness.
cheers,
Kev

I didn't run `ispell`, maybe for purpose. I didn't reread e-mail twice,
as i usually do. Think about such behavior as about mirror.

Thanks for small article about articles. But i didn't care much up till
now, and i won't after, sorry.

As for "flower" think of it, as synonym to "develop".

Thanks.

Flower, bloom, mature, grow, develop. That makes sense, I guess.

I'm sure that flower/develop is a perfectly understood metaphor in
Cz, but it just doesn't work in the US and probably Britain.

Of course, you're in Cz, so it doesn't really matter what we think.
