@Paul: Yes i had read that website some time ago. It made me change (then) from (mixed) star topology to my current (linear) bus. to accomodate this i followed the suggestions of the list members and used the utp-wires 4and5 for the dépard and wires 3and6 for the return. I did not try another channel since i only have one utp cat5e running from the master to the attic (and the new sensors cannot get to the master without passing through the attic); so splitting them up is not so easy
@Jan: now i'm a bit surprised, since maxim themselves talk about using cat5(e). Of course the cable is only used for 1-wire. I use a modified set of wiring based on hobbyboards. They use a pair for gnd/1-wire_data. My pinout is: 1and2 for +5v and gnd , 3and6 for return of 1-wire_data / 1-wire_gnd , 4and5 for the dépard, 7and8 not connected But i'll give it a try and use the pairs 7/8 as gnd for this (long) cable! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
