[Owfs-developers] Cable length when connecting a 18B20 sensor to a USB dongle

2007-03-03 Thread Pedro Côrte-Real
I'm trying to use a 18B20 sensor connected to a USB dongle. I've put the 18B20 sensor directly on an RJ-11 connector. I've connected the 18B20 Vcc connector to the USB Gnd. When I plug it directly to the dongle it works fine. If I put it on a 12 meter cable it stops working. Do I need to power the

what kind of cable did you use, flat telephone, shielded or unshielded twisted AWG24? Have you checked for parasitic noise sources near it? once I tried a 'T' topology with unshielded AWG24s in a noise free environment and I got several glitches. Pedro Côrte-Real wrote on 3/3/2007 22:38: On 3/
