Using 1-wire Source Code

Source code for various devices here...

1-Wire Interfaces and Arduino

According to this article there is both a:
1. Software solutions
2. and a hardware solution

for connecting 1-wire devices.
An article on a simple way of getting 1-wire stuff connected. No quite what I had in mind. I think I am moving to a MicroLAN idea,

Electronics for the DS2408

A discussion is here...
An arduino driver for the DS2406 is here...

Controlling Motors In a Distributed Network

Following the theme set by the one-wire interface used in the temperature sensor I would like to suggest a one-wire network to connect everything together.

To this end I have tracked down the following digital IO chips provided by Maxim:
1. DS2406 (2 channnels with read-back)
2. DS2413 (2 channnels high voltage)
3. DS28E04 (2 in and out)
4. DS2408 (8 in and out)

All visible from here...

Need now to figure out if there are shields that support this stuff.
I have seen a driver for the DS2008.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the memory that goes along with these devices?

Add in a one wire RTC and A/D converters and a compete network could be built.
