Re: Fw: DS18S20 One-Wire Thermometers

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

This looks pretty good t  me... could be the sort of thing I might want to
use (i.e. off the shelf - I don't have the time t  build stuff!). I checked
the shipping costs from the U.S. it's $10 (or less than Scan charge t  ship
a memory module from Bolton!). Before I go int  my Phil impersonation again
and start ordering stuff, I was just wondering if anybody knows the
following:

Is there any other device available off the shelf that does the same
function, either at a lower cost, or available locally from the U.K?

If there isn't anything else that's ready t  use out of the box, (i.e does
NOT require self-assembly), then is anyone interested in trying to make a
group purchase?

- remember, the important thing for me is that I am looking for a plug
&
play device that I don't have t  build myself, - I'm sure it would be
possible t  source all the components locally, and make it up for quite a
bit less, but I just don't have the time t  do that....
