[wxsig] temperature sensors

[John Bennett]

Over the years I have used 1-wire temp sensors and found them to be 
extremely reliable. Sounds like you may have had a nearby lightning hit 
or some other type of surge on the one-wire bus. If it was just the 
buried sensor, I would say moisture got into it. The latest design I 
have on the soil temp sensors seems to work well and have had zero 
problems since then (details can be seen at 
http://home.insightbb.com/~n4xi/soiltemp/soiltemp.html ). However since 
you had an indoor failure, I would lean in the direction of some sort of 
EMP. You mentioned three failures. Where was the third one, or did you 
do a two sensor version of the soil temp?
