#117081 - How many wires...?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I think the term one wire interface is misleading because you actually need 2 wires, one for the signal in both directions, the other one for gnd return.

Yes - this is a moot point!

The same could be said of things like I2C, which are often called "two-wire" interfaces!

On the other hand, when we speak of a "3-Wire" RS232 cable, we really do mean exactly 3 wires - TX, RX, and GND!

However, in this case, the question was specifically about port pins - and a "1-Wire" interface does require only 1 port pin!

QED.
