We continue with the project by building the temperature sensor module. We are using our favorite, the Dallas DS18B20 digital sensor. It uses one pin to communicate with the Arduino, along with +5vdc and Gnd. We add a 4.7k resistor between pins 2 & 3. Because we are using a single sensor, we do not need to know the address of the DS18B20 ahead of time. If you want to add a second sensor, to display outdoor temperature see our other tutorial. We are using the DS18B20 code from http://arduinotronics.blogspot.com/2010/11/ds18b20-digital-thermometer.html and the LCD code from http://arduinotronics.blogspot.com/2012/06/lcd-keypad-shield.html
Don’t forget the updated One Wire and Dallas Libraries from http://arduinotronics.blogspot.com/2012/03/dallas-ds18b20-temperature-chip.html

Pin 1 on the left is Gnd, Pin 2 in the middle is +5vdc, and pin 3 on the right is data, according to the GVS standard we follow.
