    Measuring CO concentration?

    Did anyone (at hobbyboards or other) already design a CO concentration meter? (with 1-wire interface, of course). I'm interested in having and/or designing one.

    Ground wire in hobby board interface RJ45 with hub-switch

    In general, you should be able to join them, however, try to do it in such a way that currents drawn from any of the other wires are returned on the accompanying ground and not on one of the other grounds. Making sure that the currents are "symmetric" will make sure that you have/generate less...

    6-channel hub vs. master hub?

    I'm guessing here, but it could be that the wafers have been produced in 2006, but that the actual cutting, fitting and soldering to the leads is done on demand. I'd presume that storing wafers is cheaper than storing finished components. Upon further inquiries he indicated that if the DS2409...

    6-channel hub vs. master hub?

    The DS2409 is still in production, and should be for the next five years (even if they don't come to their senses and change the status back to production). Is it really impossible (or prohibitively expensive) to buy the DS2409 at the moment?

    The 8 channel relay doesn't come with a ready casing; what do others use for casing (constructions)? Any recommendations?
