I am putting together an installation (simple) consisting of a Raspberry and 10-12 sensors to monitor the temperature in the loft and ventilation (DS18B20).
I have read here on the forum that plain twisted pair is ideal for extending wires. I have also read that the easiest way to connect all 10 to one or 5 each to different pins is to connect them at one point at the raspberry, where each has its own separate 3 wire cable.
The question is whether I can pull up the signal from 2-3 sensors in one twisted pair and how to indicate the wires in that case so nothing interferes too much. longest connection 20m.
I'm wondering if there is any ready made circuit that could protect my Malina from a short circuit, overvoltage or some other factor coming from around the sensors? (I have read that it is easy to burn the pins).
