the output to do anything we needed.
Discovering and polling the devices isn't a big deal - I can do that. But
if you've got a weather station with an indoor temperature sensor and an
outdoor sensor, you've got to tell the unit which is which. I think the PC
based software basically says 'plug in module X now' and records each ID as
it's added. As long as you've only got one of each device family, though,
you can start a search_rom, send the family code, and then just echo back
all of the bits you get from the responding unit.
Back to the original subject, what's a good test setup for a 4-20ma current
loop? Any suggestions for a cheap temperature sensor or something I could
use to try it out?
