Hi Michael,
your issue is probably caused by conflict in IPv4 and IPv6 notation.

Try to edit /etc/owfs.conf so it contains following code:

!server: server = localhost:4304
allow_other
server: port = localhost:4304
server: i2c=ALL:ALL
timeout_volatile = 2

Similarly change "Target computer name" in OwsDrv configuration dialog in REX to:

localhost:4304

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Regards, Tomas

Hi all

I'm trying to get started using the DS18B20 temp sensor with the Raspberry Pi 2 and having some issues with the OwsDrv block. I can interrogate the sensor on the command-line using

owread 28.888195080000/temperature

which returns the correct temperature.

However after I compile and download to the device, in the system log it shows OwsDrv: ow_read(): '28.888195080000/temperature', 'Connection failed' (index=0, type=0x0118) while the program is running.

I am using the demo license currently, not sure if this is the issue.

Kind regards
Michael
