I am using the Dallas DS18B20 sensor it is the newer version of the ones you are use to using, I am still fine tuning the software for the microcontoller to get it to do every thing I want it to do, I am running the sensord in high precision mode but I am looking to drop the back to a +/- 0.1°C reading setting as that is all I need accuracy wise.
