Prep Case

 

The DS18B20 fits through a 1/4" drill hole. The clear plastic case has markings to make a hole in the center.

Thread wire

Place the lipo battery next the feather and connect to the JST port.

Seal wire

 

Carefully apply hot glue over the hole to seal the case.

Place Case

 

Place the case at a corner of the pool and submerge the DS18B20 wire into the pool to start capturing data!
