DIY Soldering Practice Kits DS18B20 Temperature Sensor Module DIY Electronic Kits Soldering Project Kit 0-99 ℃ (32℉-210℉) Dingdong Store

This kit is a lot of fun to build and use. It annoys my wife to no end but it was fun to make. It’s not terribly difficult but not super easy. It’s a nice beginner kit.

Went together fairly easily and works well. Definitely a fun kit for a beginner. As with most of these beginner kits, the best idea is to scan the QR code on the included instructions to access the full build document on their website. Use the full set of instructions on the website's PDF document rather than the bare-bones instructions included with the kit.My only two minor beefs are that 1) you are locked into Celsius. I could not find a way to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. and 2) the unit does not measure below freezing (0 C or 32 F) although that limit is clearly stated in the product description.

This kit works fine. It has two alarms: one for over temp. and one for under temp. These are easy to set. Bright display. As usual, the English instructions are some what humorous, but easy to figure out what they mean. The kit came with a few extra parts, but better that than too few. Display is in degrees Celsius. Works with a 5 volt USB connection and comes with a cable. I like it. Only disappointment is that the links to additional information don't work. I'd like to know how to use the four terminals labeled +, -, R, T.

OK, just to start out, it's a great item, well worth what you paid for it, it's not that difficult to build, BUT, why can't I choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit? That should be either a function on the board, or an option when I check out.

I received this package fine everything seemed to be in the package. However when I went to solder in the power connector I noticed it was in the package. Thinking I would deal with that later I continued. after soldering more parts I got to the section where the instructions say to solder in the ic socket.The socket had one pin totally missing and another pin just sitting on top of the socket. the socket itself is not damaged so its not a shipping issue but someone just put a defective socket into the bag.Really what do you want for $8? ive bought lots of these cheap Chinese kits and never had an issue. I don't know if this works or not because with a broken socket I can't use that. I guess I can just solder the chip in. Don't buy from this company they send out defective items.

The media could not be loaded. This board was really fun and quick to make. I will start off by saying that this kit is NOT for a first time user. This kit encourages you to be more independent as far as assembly. You are given a part list with a schematic to help you build (there is no picture). You may need to look up some parts to properly identify them if you arent familiar with the values but I think its a good way to begin learning them. Personally i didnt find the schematic helpful but the pcb board was. It had all the parts outlined with values and polarity markings already on it. I like that it included spare resistors. Sometimes they get bent or break during shipping so having a few extra is nice. It works as described just be patient. Use a magnifying glass to check your parts and don't be afraid to reference the product photo I sure did lol.

This was a fun soldering project, right up until I discovered that the temperature sensor, the prime reason for the kit, was missing.Word to the wise: do a thorough inventory of the parts - not a quick visual 'all looks well' check!

Great for practice, aka learning
