Hallo

I know about this pin and have fixed it as in the docs. I do have 
communication with the chip but get some unexpected result codes.

I have also used a tstfind program from the Public Domain code. This 
little does not always report the devices on the 1-wire. I would say 
about 50% of the time I get nothing found.

So I think the comms are OK and the chip is wired correctly, I still 
want to try another chip and maybe your suggestion.

Thanks for your input
Jos
