<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> For those running a I Button / Dallas /AAG 1 wire weather station using the DS 9097u RS232 comport adapter be aware that there appears to be an earthing problem within the adapter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After shifting my set up around the RJ 11 broke off the cat 5 cable I replaced it but got no signal from the TAI 858 weather station, of course I checked everything,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The AAG test program told me that the DS9097u was functioning but no data from the WX station a check with a Multi meter showed data pulses from the DS 9097u and also voltage which sort of told me that it looked ok.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I posted a question to the 1 wire list and found that others have had the same problem , Thanks Jim.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I earthed the out put of the DS 9097u to the PC case and this has fixed the problem. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Solution is to spilt the comport adapter and replace the earth connection.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
