Hi, I´ve looked at thoose devices and as i see it the problem is the the woodchips are moving in the screw and would I get an acurate reading with the soilsenor and how long would it last in that enviroment? /Thomas Mark Cheeseman skrev: > Thomas Berg wrote: > >> I have a need to measure mo

Ok. The current CVS has cleaner code. I haven;t tested it on hardware, so your observations would be helpful. Can you test on a standard platform? Paul Alfille On 8/9/07, Paul Alfille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'll look. > > That the ID is seen suggests that the chip isn't totally fried. The

Hey Guys! Thanks very much for your quick responses. I have looked at my wiring. I have to admit that that's where I initially though the problem might be. My DS2423 has Vdd power (5v). The counter inputs are held high by a pull up resistor. The switch is a hall effect switch which, when closed,
