+# esp32-owb
+
+This is a ESP32-compatible C component for the Maxim Integrated "1-Wire" protocol.
+
+It is written and tested for version 3.0 of the [ESP-IDF](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) environment, using the xtensa-esp32-elf toolchain (gcc version 5.2.0, crosstool-ng-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a).
+
+Support for v2.1 is available on the [ESP-IDF_v2.1](https://github.com/DavidAntliff/esp32-owb/tree/ESP-IDF_v2.1) branch.
+
+## Features
+
+This library includes:
+
+ * External power supply mode (parasitic mode not yet supported).
+ * Static (stack-based) or dynamic (malloc-based) memory model.
+ * No globals - support any number of 1-Wire buses simultaneously.
+ * 1-Wire device detection and validation, including search for multiple devices on a single bus.
+ * Addressing optimisation for a single (solo) device on a bus.
+ * 1-Wire bus operations including multi-byte read and write operations.
+ * CRC checks on ROM code.
+
+This component includes two methods of bus access - delay-driven GPIO and RMT-driven slots.
+The original implementation used CPU delays to construct the 1-Wire read/write timeslots
+however this proved to be too unreliable. A second method, using the ESP32's RMT peripheral,
+results in very accurate read/write timeslots and more reliable operation.
+
+Therefore I highly recommend that you use the RMT driver. The GPIO driver should be considered deprecated.
