1 Wire weirdness

Some time back (over a year now) i decided to build a weather station I could have bought one, but i'm tight and building one from parts is more fun.

It started with my Mac mini, digittemp and a few DS1820 temperature sensors, then it moved onto a NSLU2 'slug' now it's based on a big old Linux box.

On to the weirdness...  On the slug the fuse filessystem never worked terribly well and crashed a lot. So i used the web daemon quite well.  I built a DS2406 240VAC power switch to control my greenhouse heater, but it used to trash the 1-wire network, all the other devices dropped off.

Anyway since moveing to the Linux box, the circuit is solid (so far) and the fuse filesystem is solid.

No idea why it was flakey on the slug, but i'm glad i am off it now.

Circuit below (just exchange the ds2405 for a ds2406)
