My project is to install a couple temperature sensors (an underwater sensor based on the DS18B20, as found at [ link was here... PROHIBITED cuz I'm NEW? It is a probe w/ 2m sealed cable] )
So I'm going thru owfs.org's site and clicked through all their Intro pages (1 of which has some of their vendors, 1 of them is HobbyBoard), and it's starting to make sense... the data bus is pretty self explanatory (used to work R&D airborne instrumentation so data busses aren't new to me), I need a bus controller, sensors, and a 1w USB adaptor (will plug into RPi B+ ). So I get ready to think about ordering and what seems like an important component to me, the 4-port Hub, isn't available, hasn't been available, and an online inquiry to HB resulted in them responding "we don't know when it will be available".
So is there something I don't understand? If I want to create a 1w bus, don't I need a 1w bus?
I want a couple waterproof (preferably with 2 - 3m sealed leads) temp probes, and eventually some other 1w probes/sensors, and put it on a 1w bus, and hook it to my RPi B+.
What do I need? Where should I get it? Should I just wait till HB has the Hub in stock or is there someone else?
Thanks for your advice!
