One-wire temperature sensors like the DS18B20 can measure temperature with a minimal amount of hardware and wiring. These sensors use a digital protocol to send accurate temperature readings directly to your development board without the need for an analog-to-digital converter or other extra hardware. You can get one-wire sensors in different form factors like waterproof and high-temperature probes–these are perfect for sensing temperature in many different projects and applications. With just a few connections and a WipperSnapper device, you’ll be sensing temperature in no time!
This guide explores how to connect a DS18B20 one-wire temperature sensor to a board supported by the WipperSnapper firmware. You’ll send its temperature data to be logged by Adafruit IO. All without any code!
