1.) I don't know these sensors. The Aquaero has six 2-pin connectors for temperature-sensors.
2.) You can adjust this directly via Aquaero or Aquasuite.
3.) The Aquasuites logs everything to a database which is MS Access compatible. And what do you mean with "better option"? - It's currently your only option

Shoggy,
These sensors are the ones that Crystalfontz uses on their usb LCD's, and the manufacturer is Dallas Maxim, so i thought that they would work also with the Aquero, hence my question.
The sensor in question DS18B20 boasts 0.5 degree C absolute accuracy and 0.0625 degree C resolution.
Here's a pic:
-- >About the Aquasuite i asked if there exists a better option because it is in beta fase - not rock solid - (if ever any software will be).
-- >Still you haven´t answered how do we use the table correction factor, or if the aquero is prepared to handle the resoluion of the sensors showed above.
By the way, is the Tubemeter USB available for sale yet, or if not when?
I saw it being announced, but your on-line shop doesn't carry this item.
A reply would be mostly appreciated.

1) No, you cannot use them. The DS1822 is a serial-linked sensor and the aquaero just needs normal 10kO-NTCs . But why do you wnat to use them? On the maxim page they said +-2°, so it's as good as the "normal" Ae-Sensors.
The other features like logging and temp-alarm are "integrated" in the Ae, so all in all you will have the same features with the Ae :-/.
2) you can change the sensor-offset in the software and in the Ae itself, but normally you won't need them.
3) The software is beta, but not while it's unstable. The only reason for the beta-state is, that there aren't all features inrtegratet that shoul be (they've 1000s of ideas, an a big oipportunity is, if you have better/more ideas, you can talk to them and if it is a godd idea they will use it
).
Apart from tgat, as Shoggy said there is no choice. When you buy an Ae, there is a 99%-chance, that you get a aquaero with the new firmware on it (depends on your seller), you cannot change to the old firmware and so you cannot use the old firmware, but believe me: You won't want to change, the new software is the biggest step in the aquaero-developement ;D.

Zitat von »Jag«
X-Stars,
I was planning on using the improved version of the sensor - DS18B20 - the with better resolution and accuracy, not the model DS1822.
Yes, it can be dasychained:
Hm, why is it, that there are 3 new post while I was writing mine ;D.
OK, but there's still the question: Do you need that accuracy? If you need it, you have to use the maxim, but I don't see a way to combine it with the aquaero, because there are only entrances to count impulses (flow sensor) and to measure the voltage (temp-sensor).
Using the I²C-bus is complicatet, because you haven#T got the sources of the Ae-firmware to modify it for your own devices :-/.

Well, one feels kind of lost.
What's the point of having a device like this and then skimp on the parts?
If one is to implement a thermal sensor connection, it better accept some higher accuracy thermocouples, otherwise all the numbers reported are just for fun, i guess. :
:-/
It just seems a missed opportunity, (good materials, good looks)...

What's the problem, is it impotant to you to know if the temperature ist 34,2 or 35,1 degree? +-1degree is enough, if you want to have a device to measure temps so exactly you can easily spend a few thousend $ :.

Well,
i found this via google (maybe it's an opprotunity.
Another project I heard of is a Atmel-based project comparable to the aquaero, but in this project they also use "normal" NTCs like the Ae does (I lost tzhe link, the firefox ate my favorites >
).
If you want to have a "perfect" project you have to look for an µC-board and asks some pro's to design a little project for you (might be also intertesting for them, so they will probably help you :-/)
