Re: [Owfs-developers] 1wire control devices -Analog or PWM outputs

I've been a long time lurker. I run 30+ sensors in a heating & hot water control system, combined with a 422 setup to do all the relay and D/A work. I use link-hubs for the bus masters (one serial, one ethernet.) Someday I will do the final Ruby on Rails/Postgresql interface and put it out on t

While the devices haven't yet been released, I feel compelled to say that there is surprising new interest in (3rd party) 1-wire devices. I know of some that will have PWM, motion, barometers, ADC and the like. Wait a few weeks. Paul Alfille On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 6:01 PM, njh wrote: > On Fri,

HI. Now this is really off topic, however I am puzzled why dallas have discontinued the 1wire potentiometer DS2890. Our options for actually controlling anything seems limited, except for using a number of clunky digital outputs. I really want a PWM signal to control fan speed and it looks like
