OWFS is a suite of programs, all based in a common idea:
An easy way to name and talk to 1-wire devices.
All the devices use their Unique ID as their name, and then add individual properties (like address or temperature).

 OWNet.vb

You can access OWFS from your programs two ways:

  1. running owfs and reading from the owfs filesystem.
  2. using a language module. It makes the calls directly, uses the same naming scheme, and doesn't require the owfs filesystem.
If you want more than one program to read 1-wire, or to use the filesystem or web server at the same time, you should use owserver to manage the 1-wire  bus.
