This sealed digital temperature probe lets you precisely measure temperatures in wet environments with a simple 1-Wire interface. The DS18B20 provides 9 to 12-bit (configurable) temperature readings over a 1-Wire interface, so that only one wire (and ground) needs to be connected from a central microprocessor.

We toss in a 4.7k resistor, which is required as a pullup from the DATA to VCC line when using the sensor.

Notes: Red wire connects to 3-5V, Black connects to ground and Yellow is data
