I want to build several digital temperature probes and don't want long wires permanently connected to the sides of the tanks.
I'm going to be connecting several temperature probes to a Raspberry Pi to monitor and log the temps.
Since the Dallas DS18B20 uses 3 pins I thought it would be good to have the probe connect to the pi with phone connectors (TRS).
What do people think about this approach? Will this work?
Here's a little more detail of what I had in mind:
Stainless Steel 1/2" NPT Thermowell - From about $13
Dallas DS18B20 - $1.49 each
female TRS connectors - about $1 each
1/4" Male TRS to 1/4" Male TRS - Varies depending on length needed.
On the Raspberry Pi side I can solder all of the connectors together.
