ELECFREAKS Octopus DS18B20 Digital Temperature Brick

This brick uses the DS18B20 1-Wire digital temperature sensor from Maxim IC. It can report degrees C with 9 to 12-bit precision, -55C to 125C (+/-0.5C). Each sensor has a unique 64-Bit Serial number etched into it that can allow for a huge number of sensors to be used on one data bus.

The Freaduino Sensor Shield is the perfect shield to connect this sensor to Arduino. Or Freaduino UNO which we had a pre-stray Octopus Brick interface.
