[Owfs-developers] Advice from one individual to others regarding cable making

[Gregg C L. <han...@wo...>]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Everyone on both lists, please don't fire a flamethrower at me, or
even stop reading my posts in disgust, but this is only free advice
regarding cable for the One-Wire network.

I just found this one out. When wiring a cable for a bread-boarded
connection, to a One-Wire connectoid, any of the three supported by
the company, plus the Link, and your using phone company style
connectors, remember to match polarity at each ends. It gets very
frustrating having to constantly rewire stuff.=20

And as it happens there's no real standard as to how the companies who
make the cables that use the RJ-11 connectors. Sometimes one end is
wired correctly, sometimes the other is swapped. I finally decided to
wire my own, using a length of Quad Four, and two connectors.
Naturally at the end that's terminated at the bread board, I needed to
swap those leads. Any complaints please do so, but off list, that goes
for both.
