We suggest purchasing a DS18B20 sensor that comes with a wiring adapter for easy connection. The adapter has a built-in resistor, eliminating the need for a separate one in the wiring.
Arduino Code - Temperature from DS18B20 Temperature Sensor and display it on OLED
Quick Steps
- Open Arduino IDE, Go to Tools Manage Libraries

- Search “SSD1306”, then find the SSD1306 library by Adafruit
- Click Install button to install the library.

- You will be asked for intalling some other library dependencies
- Click Install All button to install all library dependencies.

- Search “OneWire”, then find the OneWire library by Paul Stoffregen
- Click Install button to install OneWire library.

- Search “Dallas”, then find the DallasTemperature library by Miles Burton.
- Click Install button to install DallasTemperature library.

- Copy the above code and open with Arduino IDE
- Click Upload button on Arduino IDE to upload code to Arduino
- Put the sensor on hot and cold water, or grasp the sensor by your hand
- See the result on OLED
※ NOTE THAT:
The about code automatically horizontal and vertical center aligns the text on OLED display
