    Hello, I bought your Thermometer probe off of Amazon and have been trying connect it too a Rasberry Pi. I want to make sure I know which wire color is what. Red, Green, Black.

    Red = 3.3v?
    Green = Data?
    Black = Ground?

    Thank you for your help.

    I also just got a DS18B20 and am mostly happy. The wires were red,yellow, green. I eventually figured out that:

    red: 5v/3.3v

    yellow: gnd (what?!?!)

    green: data

    I know that there is no universal color scheme for these kinds of things, but this one was just crazy. Seriously, yellow for ground? In this case due to my setup I was able to try different  combinations without risk of frying anything, but I can imagine some contexts where trial and error isn’t an option. Please try to include color code info when you ship components.

    Otherwise, once I got everything sorted out I stuck the thing under my tongue and got 36C. Awesome!
