Thermochron iButton Starter Kit
______________ General Description
The DS1921K Thermochron™ iButton^® Starter Kit
provides the basic hardware for a quick evaluation of
Maxim’s Thermochron iButton family that
communicates using the 1-Wire^® protocol. The kit uses
the USB port of a Microsoft Windows^®-based Personal
Computer running Vista^®, XP SP2 (or higher), or
Microsoft Server Operating Systems Windows 2003 or
2008. The kit includes a DS1921 Thermochron iButton
and all hardware required to communicate with it. The
DS1921K is also capable of evaluating any other
iButton, including the high-capacity Thermochrons
(DS1922L, DS1922T, and DS1923), the Hygrochron™
(DS1923), and the temperature-only iButton (DS1920).
Please note that the DS1921 is the only iButton
included in the kit. All other iButtons may be purchased
separately. The easy setup process includes the free
download of 1-Wire drivers and the OneWireViewer
demonstration software to easily communicate with
iButtons through the PC’s USB port. The download site
for the free 1-Wire drivers and bundled OneWireViewer
is found at:
