PIC Forth Programming Tip

Dallas 1-Wire Communications


Dallas Semiconductor make a range of devices that communicate
on a network which may be only two wires. The devices take their
power from the data line when there is no communication taking place.

Below is code to talk to these devices. This assumes a PIC running at
10MHz and the 'Wire' is the open-collector pin RA4. The temperature
measurement shown here assumes a Vcc powered DS1820 and NOT
a parasitic powered device.

The code is mainly in assembler as this is necessary to get the best
speed. Forth is quite happy to have either.
