<DIV>Eric,</DIV>

<DIV>Almost sounds like an I2Cish type of thing, like where you might need an
open collector transisitor on your receiver (BrainStem RX) coupled to 1
wire bus that is pulled up with a resistor. In this case you would need an
inverter or replace all of that with an open collector non-inverting buffer --
this would of course maintain the polarity of signals received by Parallax
module and it should still work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now then I would think you would need to invert the 1 wire bus signal into
the TX line on the Acroname module.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does that sound right.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What is the parallax module doing with the wire when nothing is
happening?</DIV>
<DIV>Floating I presume.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In any case I would say you need to decouple any direct drive of the
pin.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does taht seem to amke sense?</DIV>
