   No, but AIUI the "right" way to do this is to send the text "trigger" to   
   /sys/bus/w1/devices/w1_bus_master1/therm_bulk_read before reading the   
   values as normal. The trigger causes them all to start a conversion at   
   once, following which the reads all complete immediately once a single   
   conversion time has elapsed.   
      
   As a quick hack, try executing the following before reading your   
   sensors...   
      
   sudo su < /sys/bus/w1/devices/w1_bus_master1/therm_bulk_read   
   EOF
