You lost me right here:

Code:

  val = digitalRead(Temp1);
  digitalWrite(Temp1, 0);
  val = digitalRead(Temp2);
  digitalWrite(Temp2, 0);
  val = digitalRead(Humid1);
  digitalWrite(Humid1, 0);
  val = digitalRead(Water);
  digitalWrite(Water, 0);
  val = digitalRead(Tank1);
  digitalWrite(Tank1, 0);
  val = digitalRead(Tank2);
  digitalWrite(Tank2, 0);

You are reading lots of things into val, and then discarding them.

Code:

int Temp1 = 42; //DS18B20 temperature sensor under camper

...

 //start DS18B20 temperature sensor under camper.
  if (Temp1 <= 0)
  {
    digitalWrite(Relay1, HIGH);
  }//turns on heat tape or something to
  //warm up a outside pipe with using the least amount of power at night.
  if (Temp1 >= 1)
  {
    digitalWrite(Relay1, LOW);
  }//and then shuts it off

Temp1 is always going to be 42 (the answer to the meaning of life, BTW) so there is no point checking if it is <= 0.

You need to save the readings into variables (not just "val").

Even if you did:

Code:

  val = digitalRead(Temp1);

val will be 0 or 1. It won't ever be greater than 1.

You are confusing the pin numbers with the readings you get from the pins.

well thanks for the reply.
now what?
pin number 42 output is either going to be below freezing 0c or above freezing 1c.
and then i have to figure it out in F degrees cause im in usa

We can use the metric system in the US if we want.  That's what freedom is all about.  Nobody making you use Fahrenheit.

i just learned Celsius yesterday, so i should let the user choose when i start on my droid code.

[Reply #5 on:]

maybe i need the word "const" in front of all my int`s?

[Reply #6 on:]

The first thing to do is to read the sensors properly as has been explained.
This code

Code:

val = digitalRead(Temp1);
digitalWrite(Temp1, 0);

looks at the pin you have named Temp1  (pin 42), stores it in a variable called val, then sets the same pin to 0 (LOW).  The value read from the pin is never used again and, indeed , is overwritten very soon after and is, therefore, not available.

What are those 2 lines of code, and several other like them actually meant to do ?

The first thing you should do is fix the complete lack of indenting.

Code:

if (Tank1 <= 17)

Tank1 is the pin number of the input. This code just compares the pin number against 17. Obviously that is pointless since the pin number does not change. If you want to read the state of the pin you need to use digitalRead() or analogRead() to get it. In this case you seem to be expecting an analog value so analogRead() is probably what you need here. It would loook like this:

Code:

if (analogRead(Tank1) <= 17)

Similarly in all the other places where you have used the pin number directly, instead of the value read from that pin.
