/misc/controller/1wire obsolete

[r00t-]

links are overrated, yes?
https://github.com/volkszaehler/volkszaehler.org/tree/master/misc/controller/1wire

[r00t-]

from what i can tell, this is different stuff.

• 1wirevz uses sysfs and a kernel driver on raspberry pi to read sensors.

the stuff in 1wire is

• a wrapper for 'digitemp' (userspace tool that speaks 1wire by abusing an uart/rs232 port)
• a script to get 1wire data from ethersex (running on an avr microcontroller) via ecmd (remote command execution protocol, afaik)

so NOT replaced by 1wirevz

i think this is more about:
do we want to accept/keep stuff contributed by external authors into the repository?
and how much maintainance activity do we want to expect from the authors?
same as the discussion that ensued here: http://volkszaehler.org/pipermail/volkszaehler-dev/2015-February/004257.html
i suggest you open a separate issue for that.

my personal opinion would be that making that much demands discourages contribution.
while i would suggest to keep trivial scripts on the wiki. (which the 1wire scripts might aswell be)
maybe we should create a contrib dir in the repository, to make it clearer that we are not directly responsible for the stuff?

opened #246

my personal opinion would be that making that much demands discourages contribution.

we should find the right place.

+1 for move to wiki

a note on 1wire:
this is useful for collecting values off of 1wire devices attached to atmega boards running ethersex.
Although this is not "main stream" anymore nowadays, these setups are still useful (think: power consumption).
Having them in the wiki is not as comfortable as git - seeing their last commit date 3 years ago, I'm fine with that :-)
Question is: what is the criteria for "git or wiki?" the number of lines of code?

I'll add the results from this issue to the README and close
