Alternatively you can enable the one-wire interface on demand using raspi-config, or the following: sudo modprobe w1-gpio Newer kernels (4.9.28 and later) allow you to use dynamic overlay loading instead, including creating multiple 1-Wire busses to be used at the same time: sudo dtoverlay w1-gpio gpiopin=4 pullup=0 # header pin 7 sudo dtoverlay w1-gpio gpiopin=17 pullup=0 # header pin 11 sudo dtoverlay w1-gpio gpiopin=27 pullup=0 # header pin 13 once any of the steps above have been performed, and discovery is complete you can list the devices that your Raspberry Pi has discovered via all 1-Wire busses (by default BCM4), like so: ls /sys/bus/w1/devices/ n.b. Using w1-gpio on the Raspberry Pi typically needs a 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor connected between the GPIO pin and a 3.3v supply (e.g. header pin 1 or 17). Other means of connecting 1-Wire devices to the Raspberry Pi are also possible, such as using i2c to 1-Wire bridge chips.
