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:
http://www.maxim-ic.com/1-wiredrivers
For software developers who wish to create custom
iButton applications, Maxim provides documentation and a free library of source code examples at
http://www.maxim-ic.com/ibutton under the Software Development Kits link. Please check our website regularly for software updates.
To evaluate plastic-packaged 1-Wire devices instead of the
iButton form factor, use the DS9090K instead of the DS1921K. To evaluate any
iButtons other than Thermochrons, see the DS9092K.
