Connecting the convertor with DS18S20

Together with DS18S20, the USB One Ore converter can be easily turned into USB Thermometer/Logger (of course with PC software). Bellow it is shown how to connect one such sensor (additional sensors can be bought separately from us). In this way you can measure temperatures from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F).
