A high-bright LED digital thermometer based around the popular Maxim/Dallas DS18B20 High-Precision Digital Temperature Sensor and a Microchip PIC Microcontroller. It offers readings in both Degree Celsius and Degree Fahrenheit with a push of a button, an accuracy of ±1 °F (±0.5 °C), as well as an on-board DC jack for easy power connection. An optional voltage regulator can also be added right on the board if you don’t have a 5V DC regulated adapter (both available from CanaKit).The DS18B20 temperature sensor offers an operating range of from –67 to 257 °F (–55 to 125 °C) and if desired can be wired off the board at a distance of up to about 325 feet (100 meters) using CAT5 or similar cable.
