Hey again:
So I have been able isolate the problem reading my aag wind instrument to an interface issue of some sort. I am able to make the wind instrument work via a 9490 usb interface on two computers, but only if it goes through an unpowered USB 2.0 hub. Plugging the interface directly in to either computer causes the odd data reports (ie 0,0,2.5,0). With the interface connected via this cheap usb hub though it works great.
So plugging the 9490 directly in to my computer gives the same results as the 6 channel serial hub, which is what I would clearly prefer to use, since I have more than 1 1wire segment. Also remember that in all of these scenarios, everything except the wind direction works fine.
I'm hoping there's enough information for an A-HA that I'm doing something obviously simple and wrong! In all my testing I only have the wind instrument connected to the interface via that rj12 cord that came with it, and the 1/4 rj12 jumper is installed.
There must be a logical explanation!
Thanks
Ken
