Assigning Dallas Temperature Sensor Addresses

This is not valid C/C++ (you need a type specifier):

TankThermometer = { 0x28, 0x2A, 0x3A, 0x59, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x8B };

OP's first post had:

DeviceAddress TankThermometer = { 0x28, 0x2A, 0x3A, 0x59, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x8B };

DeviceAddress is declared in DallasTemperature.h:

typedef uint8_t DeviceAddress[8];

This, for example, is allowed inside a function. The definition need not be global.

char TankThermometer[] = { 0x28, 0x2A, 0x3A, 0x59, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x8B };

Just so it's understood, even inside a function, this is an initialization, not an assignment.
