So, I had an interesting little discovery with my prototype last night...
I'm working on the intended final connectivity for my temperature probes, using a method I think I saw here: an ethernet patch panel. Basically, I ran +3.3v to lead 8 on the panel, gpio4 to lead 6, and ground to lead 2, then jumped 8 to 6 with the 4.7k resistor. I then crimped on an rj45 connector to my temp probe, using that same pinout (8=power, 6=data, 2=ground).
What was weird was that I got 32.0 for a temperature reading. I then swapped out the leads at the Pi for +3.3v and gpio4, and it worked perfectly.
So, any idea why these are getting swapped around on me?
