I like it. I was thinking about DS2482-800 myself but that voltage level  
was too much for my skills ;-)

I was thinking about using Analog Devices I2C isolator ADUM1250
http://www.analog.com/en/interface/digital-isolators/adum1250/products/product.html
Apart from galvanic isolation I think it can also do the voltage level  
conversion.
People use 1-wire for many outside sensors so they are prone to lightning  
strikes.
Does anyone know if using ADUM1250 might help for those kind of risks or  
optoisolators are better?
ADUM is even available in one Polish on-line shop around $5 so I think  
it's popular.

I've made a serial<->1-wire converter with DS2480B and ADUM2402 isolators  
 from Analog Devices and it works fine. I'm not sure if the isolation is  
needed and in what situations the 1-wire can actually damage the connected  
computer. I an imagine some situations when wires get mixed and I connect  
accidentally higher voltage to 1-wire also when a lightning strikes nearby  
some current can be induced in the wires. Could someone with more  
electronics knowledge explain it?


Some things I noticed on your boards:

I've read DS2482-100 datasheet and I think if You want to have strong  
pull-up You have to add an external mosfet. Look at the 1 page "typical  
operating circut". Strong pull-up is needed for powering sensors in  
parasite mode so the supplied current can be high. Without the mosfet the  
current flows through internal pull-up resistor which limits it.

Would it be possible to do one side board. It's easier to make it with  
toner transfer method at home. Or if it's difficult just minimize  
connections on the bottom (blue ones) so people can solder few wires  
instead of the layer.

You could also add another full GPIO header to attach the  
Gertboard(another Raspi expansion board) on top or bottom. Another idea is  
to put just a small I2C header so you can connect it to Gertboard which I  
think has I2C signals routed to another header. Look at the Raspi site  
there are pictures of the Gertboard( I can't give the exact link because  
they are on strike against SOPA)

Could you tell me what are those 3 legged parts between two resistors R5  
and R8.

PS Can't wait for Raspi to start selling them.
