In this example we connect an LCD4884 shield to our Arduino and then we connect a DS18B20 temperature sensor to Pin 9 and we will display the temperature in celsius and fahrenheit.

Here is the code
You need to download and install various libraries and copy them into your Arduino libraries folder.
