Piece of cake. You do need a board to solder them to because the package is so small. This is what I use on my Pis - you can see the DS2483 at upper left. This board has that white jumper there because I had to cut a trace: http://www.cupidcontrols.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/board_build.jp

Only the USB bus masters are expensive. DS2483 I2C master is about a buck. Multidrop with splitters is the beauty of 1Wire, so take advantage of it! Colin On 11/7/2015 4:32 PM, Peter Hollenbeck wrote: I like the idea of using a splitter. I'm surprised at the high cost of bus masters. Peter

The beauty of 1Wire is that ALL sensors share lines. Theoretically as many 1Wire devices as you want can be daisy chained, as they all have unique IDs. Three wires only required: Data, 5V, GND. Pinout on 8P8C: 2 +5V DC Power 3 Ground (Green/White) 4 1-Wire Data (Blue) I have a couple of these

With the Ethernet splitter are the voltage sensor and temperature sensor essentially on the same leg? I have two RaspberryPi with two small 1wire networks but actually know very little about how this stuff works. I use owfs and python and just grab current readings from the fuse directory. Thank

If you want to get fancy and enclose it, anything with terminals will work. Here's one I made recently for outdoors use: http://docs.interfaceinnovations.org/File:Solarcitynode.png Otherwise, any stupid splitter is fine: http://www.amazon.com/RJ45-Ethernet-Splitter-Connector-Adapter/dp/B003C2QS

I have a RaspberryPi with a LinkUSB interface to a voltage sensor. I want to add a temperature sensor, connected by 150 feet of Cat 5. I presume I should buy a hub to make life easy. This 1wire network will never have more than three sensors. Any hub suggestions? Thank you, Peter
