1-wire

hmm, one wire? they'd have to have two to actually do anything, and then they'd be thermistors, in which case they'd be variable resistors.

  1. measure their resistance at room temperature.

  2. find a fixed resistor with that measured value (or something near it)

  3. connect one between VCC and an analog-in on the Arduino

  4. connect the fixed resistor between analog-in and ground.

This makes a voltage divider based on the value of your thermistor, and the numbers from reading the analog in will have a linear relationship to temperature. you just have to find out what that relationship is and write a function to translate. I keep everything integer in my thermistor readings to keep things simple. Thus 989 means 98.9 degrees Fahrenheit, etc.
