I had to set up a number of ds18b20 sensors in a specific order so I needed to record their address and number them so I could position them correctly.
I made a small device to make this job easier for me.
you select the sensor number you want the sensor address to be recorded against. insert a ds18b20 sensor in the female header sockets and press the next button.
The device then displays the address of the sensor its reading and the number you chose for it. it then records all this information onto an SD card so you can simply copy the results into a spread sheet or whatever you want.
Then after correctly placing the sensor where you need it simply press the next button again to start the process for the next sensor.
I soldered the components to a strip board and soldered wires where necessary and cut the strips to avoid shorts where necessary.
The arduino is powered from the Vcc and Gnd pins via a modified usb cable.
Below is what the file on the SD card looks like its called DATALOG.TXT
The addresses are the same as I could not be bothered to change the sensor when making this quick file example.
Below is a video of it in operation to if needed.
I thought this might be helpful for other people so shared it quickly sorry if it inst in detail enough for people.
