25.8.2 Measuring Temperature with Digital Sensor DS18b20
25.8.2.1 Features of DS18B20 Sensor
There are many sensors to measure temperature on the market, but Raspberry Pi does not have an ADC (analog to digital converter), so analog temperature sensors like TMP36 can not be used directly.
Here we will measure temperature by connecting the digital sensor DS18B20 directly to Raspberry Pi.
