DS18B20 temperature sensor

Post by preston8r »

I just got my temperature sensor and hooked it up to an arduino, it was working fine for a few minutes when I tested it with a cold pack, but when I moved it from the cold pack to my body temperature it started reading '-127.00' and nothing but that. It's been doing it for several minutes. Have I broken it already?

Probably just a bad connection somewhere. Double check all your connections. If you post a photo showing your wiring we'll see if we can spot any problems.
