Overview
The DS18B20 1-Wire digital temperature sensor from Maxim IC reports degrees C with 9 to 12-bit precision, -55C to 125C (+/-0.5C). Each sensor has a unique 64-Bit Serial number etched into it - allows for a huge number of sensors to be used on one data bus.
Wiring the DS18B20
Arduino Sample Code
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#define PIN_TEMPERATURE 4
OneWire oneWire(PIN_TEMPERATURE);
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
float currentTemp = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
sensors.requestTemperatures();
currentTemp = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.println(currentTemp);
delay(500);
}
