Hi, I am currently building a Battery Charger and am using a DS1821 to sense the temp of the battery pack. I am using the dallas 1 wire interface, but am also powering the DS1821 from another PIC port pin. Can somebody expalin how I would calculate the distance over which I can safely power and communicate with this device ? I think 1 foot would be all I need, but I am not sure how to calculate the distance. Thanks, Kevin -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
