    Tiny weight measuring sensors/scales

    Dan,   You could try building something using this sensor http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/weight-sensor-load-cell-0500g-p-525.html?cPath=144_150 or, just use a postal scale, or kitchen scale.  Integrating a pre-built scale into a 1x1 box would be a heck of a challenge though :)   Mitch

    will seeedstudio current sensor work on 1 wire?

    Pete/all,   Connect the sensor to a 1W a/d converter such as a DS2438 or DS2450 and connect that device to the 1W network.  You'll need a burden resistor sized to the current of interest and likely some filtering/rectification depending on what you want to do with the measurement.   Mitch   P.S...

    Pre wire for home automation

    Some other things to think about:   - if you have a deck, wire RG6Q and CAT5/6 to it (I love my TV on the deck). - CAT5/6 to wherever you are going to put alarm control keypads - 120V wiring (get your electrician to do this) for Christmas lights outside, flood lights and a couple of spare...

    Any expérience with this web / 1-wire weather Device ?

    Thomas, The x320m is not 1-Wire compatible. It uses analog, contact and current loop input technology. Mitch

    WoW Ultra TV?

    John, What is cheezy about the router? If you don't like it, why not just go outboard with your existing router? Mitch

    1 wire network

    2 things to consider; 1. try and remove 8 of the 100 ohm resistors and use 2 only in the legs returning to the master from the 5 port connectors. 2. change *all* the sensors to local power mode to speed up the cycle time. In parasitic mode, you need to send the ConvertT command to each sensor...

    newbie - is this sketch OK ?

    Have a look at the TEMP08 FAQ, question 29: TEMP08 FAQ? The DS2405 and DS2413 are similar in their PIO port. Mitch

    Combo solar, temperature and humidity sensor

    Both Eric and I have converted to selling the new HIH4021 sensors instead of the HIH4000's. The HIH4021's are sealed and better protected against condensing environments. Still too early to say how much longer they will last, but early results are promising. Been using a couple in a harsh...

    aag wind direction ds2450 weirdness

    Your voltages don't seem to match any valid direction state. See the document "Calculating Wind Speed and Direction on the OWWS" located here. Is it possible that your wind direction monitor is defective?

    Attic temps

    Record high for me was 125F before I installed an attic fan a year ago. Since then, highest ever was 108F. Air conditioning bills have also plummeted. Located in Atlanta. Mitch
