Measure Temperature with a Sensor Made for Embedded Builds
The Temperature Waterproof One Wire Sensor DS18B20 3Meters is a temperature sensor with spi designed for temperature logging, thermal control, and equipment monitoring. It is a practical fit for makers, students, and engineers who want reliable sensor data in embedded builds.
Key details include Outputs: Control relays , servos , and LCD/OLED displays ..
Important: Sensor response time depends on airflow, mounting, and thermal contact. Keep heat sources and self-heating from nearby parts in mind.
Why you’ll love it
- Sensor packs: Sensor packs for light, temperature, distance, motion, and more.
- Useful spec: Control relays , servos , and LCD/OLED displays .
- Power range: If a module is 3.3 V-only, use a logic level converter when connecting to 5 V systems.
- Current draw: I/O pins cannot drive motors or high loads directly—use drivers or relay modules .
- Maker-friendly build: Easy to use in prototypes, classroom projects, and custom electronics
- Common controller support: Works well with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and similar boards

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Temperature Waterproof One Wire Sensor DS18B20 3Meters measure?
It is designed to measure temperature.
Can I use it with Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi?
Yes. It is well suited for common maker and embedded platforms, as long as you power it at the correct voltage and match the signal level to your controller.
How do I connect this SPI sensor?
This version uses SPI, so you usually connect power plus SCK, MISO, MOSI, and chip select.
