At this moment, we don't sell them. Sorry!</p>

I might add a feature to download straight into the data logger programmer in the future. I have not had a need yet to leave the iButton in the field long enough to run out of sample memory to warrant the extra complexity.</p>

The easiest & I'm guessing cheapest way to program and read out the data from ibuttons is the usb dongle, which can be obtained here <a href="http://www.ibuttonlink.com/ds9490b.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.ibuttonlink.com/ds9490b.aspx</a><br>
for $28</p>

They would feed the animal one of these things (embedded in a lump of wax) and pick it up a few days later in the poop.</p>

I was in Alaska doing a thermal study of the ice, used different thermochrons than the ones you listed (needed the high resolution ones). We had to keep our laptop in our parka so the LCD would not freeze as fast when we went to download the data every hour. I would be really cool to add on a feature to dump the data to an SD card or CF card. Neat project!</p>
