Grab the sketch (below), save it as an .ino file, and load that into the Arduino IDE, then use the IDE to burn the Arduino. You may have to install one or both libraries (find them via Google) as I don't remember if either/both come with the IDE kit.
Hook up one probe and see what the sketch thinks it is.
Note you'll probably need to add a pull-up resistor...
Cheers!
Code:
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 18
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
sensors.begin();
}
void loop() {
Serial.print("Parasiter is: ");
if (sensors.isParasitePowerMode())
Serial.println("ON\n");
else
Serial.println("OFF\n");
Serial.print ("Detected ");
Serial.print(sensors.getDeviceCount(), DEC);
Serial.print(" devices\n");
byte deviceAddress[8];
for (int i = 0; i < sensors.getDeviceCount(); i++) {
sensors.getAddress(deviceAddress, i);
Serial.print("Device
Serial.print(i);
Serial.print(" is a ");
switch (deviceAddress[0]){
case DS18S20MODEL:
Serial.print("DS18S20\n
break;
case DS18B20MODEL:
Serial.print("DS18B20\n

}
}
delay(1000);
sensors.requestTemperatures(); // Send the command to get temperatures
delay(750);
for (int i = 0; i < sensors.getDeviceCount(); i++) {
float temp = sensors.getTempCByIndex(i);
Serial.print ("Sensor ");
Serial.print (i);
Serial.print (" ");
Serial.print(temp);

. It might be impossible, but would you potentially be able to move your wireless router closer to your fermenters to see if that causes them to get picked up?
