Read an iButton serial number

This program will read the serial number of an iButton when the iButton receptacle is connected to input pin C.0. The serial number will be shown in the 'b6' through 'b13' variables.

Code Example:
main:	readowsn C.0		; Read the iButton serial number
	debug			; Display the value
	pause 1000		; Wait a while
	goto main		; Repeat

Create Module

The DS18B20 temperature sensor module can be configured to use an iButton connection cable (part RSA002) instead of the temperature sensor. This allows this module to be used as an iButton create module.
