Gorillacell Module 041: DS18B20 Water Temperature Sensor

Table of Contents

The Water Temperature Sensor is an input device designed to measure the temperature of liquids.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Water Temperature Sensor module featuring a waterproof probe, sealed with a heat-shrink tube for protection against moisture. The module uses the DS18B20 digital thermometer, which provides 9-bit to 12-bit precision in digital temperature readings.

It can measure temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C and communicates with the microcontroller using the 1-Wire serial communication protocol, allowing multiple sensors to be connected on a single data line.
