FAQ

Q1: Does this sensor require a pull-up resistor?

Yes. A 4.7kΩ pull-up resistor between the DATA and VCC lines is recommended for reliable OneWire communication unless your development board or expansion module already includes one.

---

Q2: What is the difference between the standard version and the 2.54mm connector version?

Both versions use the same DS18B20 sensor. The connector version simply adds a 2.54mm plug, allowing faster installation on compatible development boards and reducing the need for manual wiring.

---

Q3: Can I use multiple DS18B20 sensors on one Arduino pin?

Yes. The DS18B20 supports the 1-Wire protocol, allowing multiple sensors to share a single data pin. Each sensor has a unique factory-programmed address, making it easy to identify and read individual devices.
