#137124 - You must be doing it wrong!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I said:
I used just the normal Open-Drain output of an LPC932 to do about 20m - driving some flashing lights on the "Christmas Tree" at the end of our garden...

And that was just using ordinary 3A mains flex - not even twisted pair!
But it was 3 wires - not "Parasite" power.

My first problem was the week pulldown of the micro I was using, this was solved by using a Maxim/Dallas i2c->1wire chip (expensive).

Couldn't you just have used the simple, single-FET interface shown in the App Notes?
That works fine - and has also done the "Christmas Tree" in previous years!
