[wiregate] - √ - iButton type DS1990A not recognized

[martenss]

I've been playing with both types of iButton probes acquired via the Wiregate shop some time ago. Both immediately recognized all iButtons type DS1990R#F5 which I got as part of the same delivery. So far so good!

When trying to use the same iButton probes in combination with two other iButtons type DS1990A#F5 nothing seems to be detected, although these should be perfectly compatible with the "R" type.

In case this should work, are there any traces that can be captured to check what fails?

Note that I use the same DS1990A#F5 buttons every day to enter a public building, so these should not have an issue.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards, martenss.

The iButtons are detected just by the family-ID (01.xxx) which is the same on DS1990x..
Do you see them when looking on http://wiregateXXX:3001 ?

Yes, I do see them there. And also on the page with sensors now.
Problem solved however I do not know what went wrong when initially doing the test. Probably didn't wait long enough.

Thanks for your help, martenss

Could be, as long as no iButtons are configured (config saved) the global cycle/4 is used ("Globaler Sendezyklus") to detect them.
As soon as they are configured &saved it switches to "hardcore mode" and detection should happen at worse in 1-2secs..
(this is to save resources for useless detection-cycles every few ms, where just no iButtons are present at all..)
