Connect a BS2SX to I2C

Hello,

Is there a hardware way or code available that allows me to connect the
BS2SX to
I2C devices and or one wire devices?

Scott

    Scott,

    Good luck with the 1-Wire devices! The only thing I've found is a
    file called "Working with 1-Wire", which states that you need to buy a
    Surface Mound Device and solder it to a carrier board, a process not
    for the feint-of-heart (or less than agile fingers)!

    I hope a solution comes forth, as I am faced with the same problem!
    The rumor mill has it that Parallax might someday provide something to
    help us.

    Russ

    If someone comes up with a surface mount to DIP converter that doesn't
    require soldering (like it is ZIF or locks into place somehow), I'll
    BUY BUY BUY. I've run into I2C chips that I can't work with because of
    the size, but otherwise would very much want to... like those OSD
    (on-screen display) chips for overlaying text over video (This has
    also been a problem of mine with non-BASIC stamp projects.)

    BTW, does anyone know much about those OSD I2C chips?

    PS: That's something Parallax should work with. Who wants a robot with
    a wireless video camera and vital parameters overlaid on the video? [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    There are plenty of solderless SMD sockets out there. Ironwood comes to
    mind. However they are all big ticket items -- not inexpensive enough for
    general use. They are mostly used in one of a kind test fixtures.

    That being said, I have found I can handle surface mount pretty well and
    there are plenty of cheap solder-style PC boards available now days. In
    fact, we've considered making some on the edges of our existing PC boards.
