That will something to watch, thanks for the input. I have played a little with one wire, nothing too long tho, it seems reliable around amateur radio equipment. > I've wondered about CAN net - which TINI also supports - CAN is designed > for noisy environments, and is in fact being used in air- and water- target > drones by the US military.

I had thought of that, but feared I'd loose the iButton, and I wouldn't be smart enough to putsome override in :-) I think tho, I might use one for data logging. I have a couple of the 64Kbit ones.
