This application shows how easy PicBasic makes it to communicate with smart peripherals such as the DS1820. This is an excellent example of the pure simplicity of using PicBasic. Not to mention the huge time savings you'll have since you aren't required to spend all day hand coding all the little details in assembly language. As shown above in figure 2, the connections are extremely simple. Just hook the center-pin of the DS1820 to Port C.0.
Digital thermometer has a lot of extremely useful applications.
