Temperature sensors

[edlentz]

Can someone suggest where I can get temp sensors for the CAI board. I have several ideas and am on a tight budget.
Thanks for any suggestions!

How many?
I recently purchased 50 DS18B20 sensors for about 40c each off ebay. That included delivery. Pretty hard to beat!
If you want sensors with cables, and connectors, assembled, epoxied into stainless steel sleeves and tested, you can get them fairly inexpensively too without much effort. Who from depends on how many you want, how quickly you want them, and where you are.

Wow, that is a great price for DS18B20.

I saw this one on eBay:

that is an amazing price.

Or the one sealed in stainless steel tube:

for outdoor use.

Cripes! If anyone wants this style, let me know. Mine have 3 metre (10 foot near enough) cables, including 3-pin plug, for less than that.

(Edit: I buy them 100 at a time to get decent pricing, happy to sell in small quantities or one-off)

Thanks for the suggestions. I did find 10 for $20.00 including shipping from Kentucky. I will have them before the weekend. Way more than most of you paid! I am kinda anxious to experiment.

Thanks
