Waterproof DS18B20 3.5mm jack soldering

Submitted by Guest on Mon, 26/03/2012 - 12:46

Hey guy,

I've just bought and received one of the Waterproof DS18B20 temp sensors (http://shop.openenergymonitor.com/waterproof-ds18b20-temperature-sensing-kit/) but i'm just wondering which color cable to solder to which part of the 3.5mm jack.

 

Thanks

We have a diagram here: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/emontx/reference%20

We could really do with a nice pictorial step-by-step guide like we have for assembling the emonTx. It would be great if you could take a few photos of the assembly and I'll make one! 

Good luck.

but just with the waterproof sensor, its already been soldered at the sensor point and its already in its heat-shrink cover so I cant see which pin on the DS18B20 is connected to which color cable in the wire.

So there are 3 colors a red one, white one and black one. I assumed ground is black, Vcc is red and data is white, is this right? 

The only reason i ask is since the temp sensor scanner sketch doesnt pick it up :(

Also I would be more than happy to post the pics once im done!

Thanks

Yes that's right.

Red - Vcc

Black - GND

White - Data
