After a lot of soul and internet searching, I decided to spend a small fortune on a 'linkUSB' which plugs into a USB port and drives a one wire interface. Supposedly, it's active adaptation technology is far superior to the bit banging approach of the pi and I am hoping that I will be able to run a much longer loop.
The unfortunate part - it will no be supported under OpenPlotter's 1-wire tab. I will have to build my own interface to the signalK server (somehow)
On the bright side, at least in theory I should be able to support all the other one-wire goodies that are out there such as switches and more. It won't be pretty, everything will be hard coded as my coding knowledge is woefully inadequate for doing a fancy UI.
