public class OneWireContainer
extends Object

A OneWireContainer encapsulates the DSPortAdapter, the 1-Wire® network address, and methods to manipulate a specific 1-Wire device. A 1-Wire device may be in the form of a stainless steel armored can, called an iButton®, or in standard IC plastic packaging.

General 1-Wire device container class with basic communication functions. This class should only be used if a device specific class is not available or known. Most OneWireContainer classes will extend this basic class.

1-Wire devices with memory can be accessed through the objects that are returned from the getMemoryBanks method. See the usage example below.

Usage

Example 1

Enumerate memory banks retrieved from the OneWireContainer instance 'owd' and cast to the highest interface. See the interface descriptions MemoryBank, PagedMemoryBank, and OTPMemoryBank for specific examples.
 
  MemoryBank      mb;
  PagedMemoryBank pg_mb;
  OTPMemoryBank   otp_mb;

  for(Enumeration bank_enum = owd.getMemoryBanks();
                      bank_enum.hasMoreElements(); )
  {
     // get the next memory bank, cast to MemoryBank
     mb = (MemoryBank)bank_enum.nextElement();

     // check if has paged services
     if (mb instanceof PagedMemoryBank)
         pg_mb = (PagedMemoryBank)mb;

     // check if has One-Time-Programable services
     if (mb instanceof OTPMemoryBank)
         otp_mb = (OTPMemoryBank)mb;
  }
