I have been trying to get two ambient temp sensors working from a 2005 G5. So far no luck.
They are:

and
http://www.welovemacs.com/9226559.html
I've tried all different wiring configurations that are possible as far as I can see, all using a 5v to 3.3v converter, as I think these are both 3.3v parts. I've been attempting to get them recognized as USB devices, but no matter what config I've tried, nothing has ever appeared in Sys Info under USB devices. They use a proprietary plug on the G5 logic board but I was hoping it was tied into USB like the Infrared Sensor and A1181 Bluetooth Modules are.
Am I chasing a red herring here? Had anyone tried this with any success?
Interested to know.
Regards,
