What is an iButton® ?

The iButton® is a computer chip enclosed in a 16mm thick stainless steel can. Because of this unique and durable container, up-to-date information can travel with a person or object anywhere they go. The steel iButton® can be mounted virtually anywhere because it is rugged enough to withstand harsh environments, indoors or outdoors. It is small and portable enough to attach to a key fob, ring, watch, or other personal items, and be used daily for applications such as access control to buildings and computers, asset management, and various data logging tasks.

Get Information from iButton®

Information is transferred between your iButton® and a PC with a momentary contact at up to 142kbps. You simply touch your iButton® to a Blue Dot receptor or other iButton® probe, which is connected to a PC. The Blue Dot receptor is cabled to a 1-Wire® adapter that is attached to a spare PC port. 1-Wire® adapters exist for USB, serial, and parallel ports. The Blue Dot receptor and 1-Wire® Adapter are inexpensive.
