Hi.
I was looking into the single-wire iButtons, and wanted to hook up aprox 100
"reader-stations" spread out over 50,000 square feet, which all funnel down
to a single PC via serial port. (Or perhaps a couple serial ports if need
be)

What I envision is having several pics, each having the capability to
provide contacts to read 5-10 iButtons..  Each of these pics would reside on
some common bus and eventually stream the data to a PC with a serial port.
Each contact station would append a "station-id" to the 64bit serial number
that the iButton reports...

Has anyone been exposed to a setup like this?
