Eric:   First a question - have you considered selling your business instead of just closing it?  website, board designs, etc?   I've been troubleshooting my anemometer boards again and am trying to make sense of the onewireviewer readings.  Is VDD A/D channel 0 and VAD A/D channel 1?   Ken

Hello all.   I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using power over ethernet as a power source for any of the 1wire sensors.  The power supplies I usually use are around 15v but several inexpensive POE splitters such as trendnet TPE-104s (on amazon for 20) provide 12v.  I would think this...

We are in our first electrical storm since I installed the lightning detector. It sat at 0 for about 4 days (no false strikes) and I've just counted up to 12 strikes in 20 min. The ground I have is 'sub par' but it seems to be working just fine. I have a question - this is a dual channel...

Eric: I've got the Wind Speed & Direction sensor board connected to the Inspeed hardware. I've replaced the controller once because the direction stopped reading - I also noted the temp on that one that failed was stuck at 0 C. So now on my 2nd version I am getting a similar failure - the...

Hello: I'm confused from the forum whether or not I need to enable or disable the onboard voltage regulator if I am powering my Temp/Humidity/Solar sensor from the 6 Channel hub. Can anyone clarify - does injected power count as 'external'? Thanks Ken

Eric: I've had the anemometer board in place over a year. It is in a weathertight box on my roof and I connect to it via a 50 ft rj45 cable. I also have the insolation/temp/humidity sensor chained from this via a short 6 ft rj45 cable and finally I've also connected the rain sensor to the...

Hey All I've gotten a new moisture sensor, fixed my cabling and thought I was in good shape, but I now am getting intermittent noise that looks like the previous moisture sensor without an isolation transformer. The problem is that I have an isolation transformer on just like the last board...

Hello All: I've got a moisture sensor in line with a solar/humidity/temp sensor (both of them are powered) running off the 6 channel hub. I've got an odd problem with the moisture sensor - readings are stuck at 110 for moisture and 32 deg f temp. I'm not honestly sure where to look - the...

Hello all. Bad news, some devices got wet in an exceptional rainstorm. The hub won't power up now and I'm wondering how I should go about repairing it - can Eric or someone give me a digikey/mouser/etc part # - I'm hoping its just the power transistor on the board, but let me know Thanks Ken

Hey all: I have a question on the 8 channel input board. I'm interfacing it to my security system which has the contacts all normally closed. This results in the relays being on pretty much all the time. I notice the transistor getting very hot to the touch (156 deg) and I'm wondering if...

Hello: Topic says it all. I've got some current transducers I'd like to run to a 1wire analog module. My choice is to use them in 4-20ma range. Are there any 1wire modules that will handle this? If not 4-20ma, I can do 0-5v as an option - any 1wire modules for this? Ken

Hey all: I'm wondering if anyone has any data to compare their moisture meter against mine. I'm unclear as to what values I should be seeing and my data seems to be all over the map. I'm wondering if I've gotten something wrong. The temperature sensor on the board is rock solid and is buried...

Eric: Are the 1wire interfaces for the ADS and Inspeed controllers the same, so that if someone were to write the code for one, it would work the same for the other, or are there simple changes (like scaling constants) or is it complex (logic changes). I'm looking into switching out this AAG...

Hey again: So I have been able isolate the problem reading my aag wind instrument to an interface issue of some sort. I am able to make the wind instrument work via a 9490 usb interface on two computers, but only if it goes through an unpowered USB 2.0 hub. Plugging the interface directly in...

Hello: I've got a question about the wind direction sensor on the AAG wind instrument. I'm using mcs1wire to read and I get a total of 5 devices - 1 wind direction and 4 voltages. Using debugging I can see the 4 voltages changing but the actual wind direction does not update. Is there...

Hello: I recently got the AAG Wind Monitor and have it running with a few other devices on my roof. I use the xapmcs1wire software and read the wind speed without a problem, but am not receiving any data on the wind direction. I'm wondering if positioning of the magnet to the switches is...
