16F88 and temperature sensor

[DynamoBen]

Pretty pricey for what I'm doing. I don't need several sensors....just one.

What other peripherals do you have on your current project? You may be able to share a clock pin, or a data pin, with another peripheral. For instance, if you have an SPI eeprom, you can share the clock and data lines, and whatever you do with those two pins is transparent to the eeprom so long as the chipset is held high. In other words, you might not be limited to 1 pin.

I currently have a switch, LCD (4-bit), DS1307, MAX232. This gives me one open, unused pin.

You might use a LM75A, and put it on the I2C bus with the DS1307, and you'll still have a Pin left.

My big concern with IC based sensors is that I will only be able to get the temp of the inside the project box everything is going into. I'm thinking I need something that I can either use remote or attach to the side of a metal project box.
