I am attempting to read temperature data from 10 DS18B20 sensors, not connected in parasite mode.
It happens quite often that I don't get a reading from a sensor. I read online a bit about MOSFET's and they are supposed to boost the signal as far as I understood?
Is this possible? How would I connect it and are there any recommendations on the type?
Yes you can use MOSFET like in this guideline from Maxim:
For best results, the 1-Wire networks should use Category 5, twisted-pair copper wire and have 5V bus power supplied by the master.
