I have two 1-wire nets connected to raspberry PIs. The first includes two DS1820 temperature sensors and a humidity sensor based on the DS2438, which also incorporates an unspecified temperature sensor.  The second net just contains a humidity sensor with, again, unspecified temperature sensor.

At 13:56 yesterday, one DS1820 started registering the maximum 85°C, and at 14:00 the second did the same (readings at 2-minute intervals). Both the other temperature sensors read expected results, and other sensors connected to the first net read normally. I find it difficult to believe that two sensors should decide to give up the ghost within 4 minutes of each other after several years of operation, and the continued operation of other sensors seems to rule out a voltage surge.

All sensors are of Hobby Boards origin.

Can anybody suggest a cause/solution? I suppose it would be fairly inexpensive to get a couple of replacements and solder them in.

Regards to all

Graeme
