Mike, Your question was how to add temperature data to a mysql dataase.
The gereral algorithm should be: 1. save a list of all temperasture sensors 2. loop every three seconds 3. send a "Skip ROM" then a "convert" 4. wait 1 second 5. read the current temperature from every sensor in your list. 6. place into database (the time stamp should be from the 7. loop again This assumes powered sensors. If you use OWFS, you may want to consider the owphp module. Basically, you initiate the convertion by writing "1" to "/simultaneous/temperature" then loop through all devices reading temperatures. There will be a delay for the first one only. Storing into mysql should be simple with php. The next write to simultaneuous will start a new conversion and delay. I think OWFS will compile with bsd. If you also want to access the sensors from another program or web page, use owserver in between.
