Can you address more than 5 individually?
In other words not using the search function but send the command to an individual device by its id?
It could be inconvenient to get the id for each device first, depending on how many you are using.
When I got the id's for mine I used the search function in the 1-wire library and touched each in turn to raise the temperature then made a note of the ID. Keep swapping them out till youve done them all. Then I addressed each device directly to get it to send back the temperature.
I was only working with 2 devices but it was more convenient for me to know exactly which device gave which reading. Im not using the one wire library but a cut down version Ive cobbled together from numerous sources. No search functions. Just the ability to send and receive data on the bus.
If there are limitations in the 1-wire library maybe this would help?
