OneWireLibrary++

This C++ library is a new approach for a software library to interface to 1-Wire hardware.

It is developed on Linux, using KDevelop on a SuSE 9.0 system.

Features

GNU GPL license
Support for passive serial, active serial (DS2480B) and USB interfaces (DS2490)
View on multiple interfaces as one logical network
Provides easy to use interfaces to devices (by now: DS1820, DS2401, DS2405, DS2406, DS2890)
Portable to different platforms (at least in theory). Platform specific parts are encapsulated in special classes using the static factory design pattern.
Easy to extend (imho)
Includes console demo application
Written in and for C++ (oh well, some might say that's a bug)

Major todos, aka missing features

Support for segmented networks
Testing, testing ... testing

Changes V0.4.1

Support for digital potentiometer DS2890.
Support for silicon serial number DS2401.
Handling of unknown device types.
Bugfixes.

Changes V0.4

Support of USB controllers based on DS2490
Requires libusb, at least V0.1.6
Thread safety
Threads and mutexes supporting classes
Replaced semaphores by mutexes
Abandoned support of IPC classes
Cleanups and streamlining
Tons of bugfixes

In principle, the core part of the library is platform independant as it only uses standard C++. The platform specific parts are encapsulated in special classes, following the factory design pattern. Therefore it should be possible to port it to other OSs.
