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. ------------------- Gregg C Levine han...@wo... ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
