The issue *may* be that the relay board is overloading the power available from the LinkUSB and causing random resets of the DS2408. It depends on the power required to drive the relays on the Hobbyboards board. Our relay board takes 160mA with all relays energised and this will cause an overload

We're a supplier of the LinkUSB. Let me have a word with iButtonlink and see what they say. Remember, the LinkUSB is effectively a combination of a LINK45 and an FTDI USB/serial adapter. The LINK45 in turn emulates a DS9097U-S09. So I suspect what the OWFS code is doing is pretending that the
