Temperature Sensor DS18S20 PIC16F877A

Here's a temperature sensor (thermometer) circuit that you can easily build. It uses the popular PIC 16F877A microcontroller. The temperature sensor is DS18S20. The DS18S20 communicates through the one-wire protocol. The PIC16F877A communicates with the DS18S20 with the one-wire protocol and gets the information for the temperature and displays it on the LCD.

The temperature range of this circuit is -55'C to +125'C.

The methods of communicating with the DS18S20 and sending/receiving commands, and reading the temperature value,  are all explained in the DS18S20 datasheet (datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS18S20.pdf).

Here is the code for the PIC16F877A:
