Interfacing DS18b20 temperature sensor with Raspberry pi

DS18b20 is a simple temperature sensor which gives digital output on single I/O pin based on 1-wire protocol, so this can be used with the Raspberry-Pi without the need of Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). On Raspberry Pi, 1-wire interface can be enabled by using sudo raspi-config utility, select “Advanced Option” and enable the 1-Wire […]
