It is the "Sensor" part I need help with. I am considering the DS1820 One Wire sensor, but would love to hear from this group's vast bank of experience. Low cost then simplicity is importaint.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dwight

Could you tell us the temp range and precision + resolution you look for ???
Also if you have an ADC aboard your PIC.

Sensor selection will be greatly simplified ...

BTW ... using a OneWire device with some POV Display could be really interesting ... but, it's just me ...
