Dallas Semiconductor (Maxim) produces a family of devices that are controlled through a proprietary 1-wire interface. On a 1-wire network, a single "master" device communicates with one or more 1-wire "slave" devices over a single data line, which can also be used to provide power to the slave devices. How to connect such devices to Arduino?
