! OWW-OpenWrt



This page is for information on getting oww to work on openwrt.



!! Contributors

[melb_ap]



!! Background

OWW stands for one wire weather and is a weather monitoring system based around the Dallas one-wire protocol and the Dallas example weather station kit available from aag

The oww software allows for remote monitoring of the device over tcp so you can get the wind speed & temp at your poor freezing remote wireless node on the hill !



! OS version used

openwrt RC5 (2.4 kernel)



! Hardware used

wl-500gP with dallas one wire weather station kit and rs232 to one-wire adaptor

but any ap with 3.3v serial, openwrt support and enough flash space can be used.

I used the ATen usb to rs232 adaptor to get the rs232 in my case for ease.



The weather station's were available from AAG but they have brough out a new version and i'm not sure on compatibility.



Extra modules like humidity, barometer and the rain sensor can be purchased

from www.hobbyboards.com and these three have been verified as working!

(see setup details below)





! Modules



The modules to get this running on openwrt are









# usb support



ipkg install kmod-usb-core_2.4.30-brcm-3_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install kmod-usb-ohci_2.4.30-brcm-3_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-3_mipsel.ipk





# usb serial adaptor



ipkg install kmod-usb-serial_2.4.30-brcm-3_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install kmod-usb-serial-pl2303_2.4.30-brcm-3_mipsel.ipk





vim /etc/init.d/S95extras



i



insmod usbserial

insmod pl2303.o





chmod 777 /etc/init.d/S95extras





## libs and oww modules



ipkg install zlib_1.2.2-2_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install openssl_0.9.7m-3_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install libcurl_7.17.0-2_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install libusb_0.1.10a-1_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install lsusb_0.71-1_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install oww_0.82.0-1_mipsel.ipk







Internet / dns access



The router will need to be setup for internet access



Typically use (natuarally adapt for your subnetting system)



nvram set lan_ipaddr=192.168.0.50

nvram set lan_netmask=255.255.255.0

nvram set wan_gateway=192.168.0.1

nvram set wan_dns=192.168.0.1

nvram commit





##Time zone setup (this is for Melbourne Australia)





## Just paste this in to opwnwrt





nvram set time_zone="AEST-10AEDT-11,M10.5.0/02:00:00,M4.1.0/03:00:00"

nvram commit





tz=$(nvram get time_zone)

tz=${tz:-"AEST-10AEDT-11,M10.5.0/02:00:00,M4.1.0/03:00:00"}

echo $tz > /etc/TZ



## after a reboot it'll take affect

[melb_ap] 8/7/08 : I'm currently working on this project to get the dallas weather sensors running at various node locations.



THE NLSU2 unslung site has the oww software available compiled for openwrt and the wl-500gP but I haven't quite got it to work just yet.



I have a max232 and the dallas rs232 interface connected to the wl-500gP

but running ./owwnogui -i in /opt/bin just hangs the router at present.



I've verified it works ok on a pc with the AAG software which was also handy to get the sensor serials required for oww's devices config.

Trying a usb to serial adaptor atm, note serial is /dev/usb/tts/0



Yah we have data

After much work and some help from some other members I have a working configuration.



If your looking at this project , use the RS232 to one wire adaptor and the A-Ten USB to serial converter.



I'm not aware of openwrt support for the USB to one wire device

but it'll just depend on weather it uses a standard linux supported

usb to rs232 chip or not.



And for time sync , just use rdate once you've set the correct time zone

on openwrt.



[melb_ap] 26/1/10



All working I've updated the links to the new active weather stations

and i've also got hobby board humidity / pressure / rain sensors running.



Thats only setup on node JAA at the moment.

(presently in testing on the bench but soon to move to the site)

Setup instructions for hobby board modules





The hobby boards devices come up as other things by default

without assigninging them to a function.



IE The humidity sensor seems to come up as 2 temperature

sensors



So you use the re assign to assign it to humidity 1



this is done below once to get the correct strings

then you save them to your devices file so it just 

uses them in the future.



And the one wire devices do have unique serial id's 

so a sensor replacement will require runnng this 

again for that sensor.





[repeat point A]



Plug in only one sensor for each time you run this process



run 



/opt/bin/owwnogui -i





type search 



to find devices





type assign



to assign devices 

	

Assign the device to to thing it actually is like humidity 1





Then type ? devices





copy and paste to a notepad file.





now close owwnogui with cntrl-c , plug in the next sensor 



Repeat this process for each sensor so you have the line for each wire device s/n and assignments from repeat point A





Note - Make sure you assign any actual temperature senors to say temp 2

       so that the main weather sensor still can use temp 1







Once all the device assignments are done you can merge all the assingments togeather 

to make it all work togeather.







Once you have this all done , hopefully it'll all work when connected togeather !





Here's my devices file for one of my stations for example

Trouble shooting Tips :





Make sure you test it all connected on the bench before installation to save onsite headaches !





The hobby board sensors with the 12v connecor blocks DO require 12v to work when piggy backed

this can be provided via the connectors or the cat5 cable as per the hobby boards wiring pinout.





If the cables have crossed over wires when yu look at the connectors, they wont work,

they should match when held sid by side with both ends facing away from you.



My Onewire TA weather sensor for what ever reason would only work on one connector - the left one

on the top of the board. The right one has the wire loop rj12 in it.



Most phone RJ12 double adaptors have the wires crossed and wont work unless you pull them apart 

and set it to all strait through





I found the rj45 double addaptor seemed to be strait through though so i used that.



With the dallas/aag weather sensor - leave the rj12 with the wire loop between pin 1 and 4 installed in the extra rj12.



I found it unstable for whatever reason without this and it wouldn't work properley when all sensors were connected.





Good luch and let me know if this help you !



(it took a lot of work to get it right)
