Review on 🌡️ Pack of 15 DS18B20 Waterproof Temperature Sensors (1m/3.2ft Cable) -55°C to +125°C, Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi by Mark Lodge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Funny and pretty accurate

I connected them to Raspberry Pi Pico by crimping some Duponte connectors and placing a 4.7kΩ resistor between the power line and the data line. So far, so good. When I took my temperature she said I was 97F so it looked like it was within tolerance. I haven't checked anything else but I'm guessing I'm about 98.6 F? It appears to be consistent in measurements and produces a smooth chart when taking a sample every 30 seconds to measure heat of fermentation. The probe itself is very responsive when I hold it in my hand. As I sample every second, I see it growing almost in real time. The transition from room temperature to "exact" body temperature takes about 30 seconds.

Pros
  • Wide application: This DS18B20 temperature sensor is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, including e-books, suitable for thermostat control, industrial systems, thermometers, any temperature-sensitive system, etc.
Cons
  • is not reliable
