1 Wire Pi (Discontinued)

1 Wire Pi expansion board legacy information

1 Wire Pi legacy product

This item has been replaced with the 1 Wire Pi Plus and 1 Wire Pi Zero.

  • 1-Wire® to I2C host interface with ESD protection diode.
  • Stackable with other Raspberry Pi accessory boards.
  • Buffered 5V I2C port.
  • External 5V power input for the 1-Wire® interface.

The 1 Wire Pi from AB Electronics UK is a communication board supporting the 1-Wire® protocol.  A 5V buffered I2C port is also provided on the board.

The 1-Wire® port is based around a DS2482-100 I2C to 1-Wire® bridge device.  The DS2482-100 provides bi-directional protocol conversion between the I2C port on the Raspberry Pi and any attached 1-Wire® devices.  An ESD Protection Diode protects the 1 Wire Pi and Raspberry Pi from electrostatic spikes on the 1-Wire® port.  Connections to the 1-Wire® port can be made through the RJ-12 socket or the solder points on the PCB.  See our KB page for configuring and using the 1-Wire® port on your Raspberry Pi.

A 5V input port allows you to use an external power supply on the 1-Wire® interface, reducing the load on the Raspberry Pi.  If you use the external 5V input, please remove the jumper on the board to isolate the Raspberry Pi 5V bus.
