Heheh, oops. I guess I should fix that spelling error. The MS-T sensor is using a DS2438 battery monitor for its temperature sensor. These parts are actually a chip designed to monitor voltage and current in battery packs and can be used to monitor sensors with proporrtional voltage outputs (like humidity sensors). The 'normal' use of them used to be humidity sensors so that's the default in DigiTemp, but Dallas has been having problems making DS18S20 sensors so people are moving towards using the DS2438 just as a temperature sensor (its actually cheaper than the stand alone temperature sensors too). > Jesus wrote: > >>Ok.
