New to Hobby Boards?

Hobby Boards provides a wide variety of monitoring devices to help you track and control the environment in and around your home and garden. These products include weather and environmental monitors (lightning detectors, temperature and humidity detectors, soil moisture meters, etc.) and other devices such as motion detectors and counters. These are offered as fully assembled units, as well as individual circuit boards and kits for the electronic hobbyist. All of these and more can be seen in our online store.

In addition to our product offerings, this site provides general information about 1-Wire and 1-Wire networks, so that those unfamiliar with the protocol can learn a bit about it. We also have instructions on how to set up a 1-Wire network using Hobby Boards components. These informational how-to pages are designed for the relative beginner, yet have enough technical information to answer many of your questions no matter how experienced you are in setting up 1-Wire monitoring systems.

We also have a users forum, kindly hosted by CocoonTech. This is a great opportunity for Hobby Boards customers to share their experiences. We monitor this forum regularly, and encourage you to use this as your first stop for support.

Rounding out our website, you will find a page full of relevant links to more information, 1-Wire software, forums and user groups, and to our users’ own home pages. We hope these links are useful to you.

Please enjoy your visit to our site, and continue to check back from time to time. We will continue to add new content and expand our product line on an ongoing basis as we expand our business.
