Waterproof DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor for Arduino
The DS18B20 is a widely used 1-Wire waterproof digital temperature sensor that comes in the form of a Stainless-steel probe. it is manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor (acquired by Maxim Integrated). This sensor has the characteristics of small size, low hardware overhead, high precision, and strong anti-interference ability. This sensor is perfect for measuring temperature in wet conditions, beneath the ground, underwater, or something far away.
This Sensor can measure a wide temperature in the range of -55°C ( -67°F) to +125°C (+257°F) with +-5% accuracy. This Sensors used a one-wire bus protocol to communicate with a microcontroller, which means it uses a single digital pin of any microcontroller/microprocessor to transmit the temperature readings. The temperature sensor’s resolution ranges from 9 to 12 bits. however, the default resolution to power up the sensor is 12-bit (i.e., 0.0625°C precision).
