There should be a couple entries. Look for DallasTemperature by Miles Burton. Click on that entry, and then select Install. This Dallas Temperature library is a hardware-specific library which handles lower-level functions.
Install this library as well. The following sketch will give you complete understanding on how to read temperature readings from DS18B20 Temperature Sensor and can serve as the basis for more practical experiments and projects. The sketch starts by including OneWire.
In order to communicate with DS18B20 sensor, we need to create object of DallasTemperature library and pass reference of one-wire object as a parameter. For this, you can use the example sketch below. The sketch prints the addresses of the connected sensors in the Serial Monitor. In order to know which sensor is which, you can wire just one sensor at a time or successively add a new sensor.
Then, you can label each sensor that is connected to the 1-Wire bus. With the following example, you can read the temperature from each sensor by specifying their unique address.
Note that you have to replace the addresses in lines 17 to 19 with the addresses that you found using the previous example code. The address of each sensor consists of bits. In the code, we specify the address as an array of eight 8-bit bytes.
In the loop, we call the printTemperature DeviceAddress address function. In this custom function, we use getTempC address and getTempF address to fetch the temperature from a sensor whose address is passed as a parameter. The DallasTemperature library has some other useful functions built-in that I have not yet covered in the examples above.
I have therefore listed a few of them below:. This function can be used to set the resolution of the temperature-to-digital conversion. As I mentioned in the introduction, this can be set to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits, corresponding to increments of 0.
One advantage of selecting a lower resolution is that the temperature-to-digital conversion takes a lot less time. This means that you can take more temperature readings in the same amount of time.
The DallasTemperature library allows you to set the resolution with the function setResolution. This function can be added to the setup or loop section of your code. This function returns true when a device has an alarm condition. You can find an example of these functions here. You can check out my detailed tutorial below for more information. Now scroll down and look for the library by Frank de Brabander. I hope you found it useful and informative.
If you did, please share this article with a friend who also likes electronics and making things. I would love to know what projects you plan on building or have already built with these sensors. If you have any questions, suggestions, or if you think that things are missing in this tutorial, please leave a comment below. Then tried reducing the program to the strict minimum, having a single sensor light up the onboard LED: that would again only work when connected to the computer on the serial.
Thanks for reading, if you have any tips, they would be super welcome! Could someone help me with me please? I have posted my code below, I will now try and find a way to take the average of each Temp C entries and if that average is above a specified temp, activate a relay. I suggest you read up on indenting your code, it will make it easier to find those kinds of errors. You should have received an error from the compiler and no code would have been generated.
Thanks for the advice, i hadnt messed with that part. Usually 16, 32 or You only need to use it when you really care about the size and sign. Thanks for all the help, got the code working with the relay and OLED screen, ive added my code below for anyone who wants it in the future. Hello every one. It detects until 6th sensor but after 7th sensor it can not detect any of them.

Hi Rui, Thanks for your tutorial. Kind regards, Rodrigo Catarino Reply. I think you can use the same resistor and it will work fine. Regards, Sara Reply.
Thank you so much, was almost giving up on this one. Hi Alan.
