RE: 1-wire network

["Nick Shore" <nick.shore@xxxxxxx>]

well you should be able to just plug in a DS9097U-09 into your PC serial port and then connect a load of DS18S20s

to some wire (we use cat5 here) I dunno about windows based software to read from them, we use linux, but a quick search found these links: http://www.vss.co.nz/new/gadgets/onewire.htm and http://www.vss.co.nz/products/default.htm

 

You just need to do the tricky thing and actually get hold of the dallas bits

MessageHi all,

No bargain alert this time :-)

I'm very keen on having a 1-wire network installed in my home to monitor the
temperatures in each of my rooms (approx 10 locations). I also would like to
do this using my PC and after reading up on the Dallas site I'm a lot wiser.
My problem however is that I'm a complete dud with electronics and couldn't
tell a resistor from a diode.

And here in lies my problem. All information about this describes how you
(from a component manufacturer point of view) can create the most wonderful
equipment with this, but nothing is there for an end-user (like me). I did
have a look at the kit that Quasar is offering and that sounds just great,
if only it didn't have the 4 probes limitation.

Is there anyone on this list who has succesfully implemented something like
this?

Many thanks,

Q.
