Actually, there are all sorts of cases in the wider world where there are generic gateways dealing with multiple peripherals. Probably one of the best knows is the "Windows Printer Device Driver". What people call the "Driver" here is actually a translator. Its primary purpose is to convert generic ...

Thanks!

Every little bit helps.

However, obviously it is and quite freely. So how? As it turns out there's a loophole. As long as your transmitter power level is ...

I don't see why not. Adafruit has an example of the DS18B20 connected to a Pi GPIO port and the Pi is a multi-tasking OS. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-11-ds18b20-temperature-sensing/hardware The tricky part is in figuring out what channel to feed the measurements into ...

Basically, I've got a gateway device (connects as a tty) which concentrates and formats data from a variable number of remote sensors with varying capabilities. For best results, then, I'd like to define each remote via ...
