Temperature Sensor

C/C++
This code reads the data from the temperature sensor and converts it into degrees Fahrenheit. These converted data readings are then published to the particle console.

/************************************************************************
This sketch reads the temperature from a 1-Wire device and then publishes
to the Particle cloud. From there, IFTTT can be used to log the date,
time, and temperature to a Google Spreadsheet. Read more in our tutorial
here: https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/topics/maker-kit

This sketch is the same as the example from the OneWire library, but
with the addition of three lines at the end to publish the data to the
cloud.

Use this sketch to read the temperature from 1-Wire devices
you have attached to your Particle device (core, p0, p1, photon, electron)

Temperature is read from: DS18S20, DS18B20, DS1822, DS2438

Expanding on the enumeration process in the address scanner, this example
reads the temperature and outputs it from known device types as it scans.

I/O setup:
These made it easy to just 'plug in' my 18B20 (note that a bare TO-92
sensor may read higher than it should if it's right next to the Photon)

D3 - 1-wire ground, or just use regular pin and comment out below.
D4 - 1-wire signal, 2K-10K resistor to D5 (3v3)
D5 - 1-wire power, ditto ground comment.

A pull-up resistor is required on the signal line. The spec calls for a 4.7K.
I have used 1K-10K depending on the bus configuration and what I had out on the
bench. If you are powering the device, they all work. If you are using parisidic
power it gets more picky about the value.

OLED Screen Temperature Display

C/C++
This code pulls data from the particle console and displays it on the OLED screen. This happens every time the console updates.
// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

/*****************************************************************************
Particle Maker Kit Tutorial #2: Next Bus Alert

This tutorial uses a Particle Photon and the OLED screen from the Particle
Maker Kit. It uses a webhook to retrieve bus prediction times from the
NextBus Public XML feed, which must be set up first along with the webhook.
See https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/topics/maker-kit to learn how!

NOTE: This code example requires the Adafruit_SSD1306 library to be included,
so make sure to add it via the Libraries tab in the left sidebar.
