I agree that cost isn't the one reason to choose 1-wire, though I should add that the snow depth sensor that I've built with 1-wire stuff costs about $300 in parts and a couple of hours of work, while commercial sensors easily cost $3000+. Or that it's hard to beat the cost of DS1820 at $1 each at eBay if you need dozens of thermometers. Or that if something breaks, it's often simple to repair 1-wire stuff with spare components, whereas a weather station bought at the supermarket will have to be returned. Still, I recommend people who wonder what equipment I use to go for a "supermarket" version unless they're prepared to use the soldering iron. And I like owfs a lot, so even if I bought something completely different, I'd still be inclined to make a 1-wire interface so I could still use owfs... -- Steinar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
