= Dallas Temperature Sensor =

== Software ==
You can download the Arduino sketch [[http://code.mios.com/git_public/mios/arduino-sensor.git/tree/HEAD:/VeraArduino/Arduino/libraries/Vera/examples/DallasTemperatureSensor?js=1|here]].\\

== Wire things up ==

Follow the instructions in ConnectingRadioModule to connect radio module.

You can connect many DS18b20 in parallel if you want to collect several temperatures (they will be presented as separate devices in Vera). In the sketch provided I've used digital pin 3 for input.

You need connect a pull-up resistor like the picture show.
