Can't find sensor

[hsloan1a]

I'm running this guide:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspbe ... mperature/

I've bought everything and it is my first project and pi. I do have the B+, but I don't think it is an difference.

When I run this:
sudo modprobe w1-gpio
sudo modprobe w1-therm
cd /sys/bus/w1/devices/
ls

I don't get the results that are displayed. I have flipped the resistor about four times. I pulled out a volt meter (luck I had one) and I'm sending power from the board. I kept feeling it to see if it was getting warm. I researched the pins. However, being a novice, I tried all the connection combinations I could try. I'm thinking I possible blew the sensor. I did put the volt meter on the grnd and power and I can see that power is flowing. However, the first couple times I setup the device, my pi wouldn't startup. lol, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm trying. However, I could use some help if possible.

I actually had the resistor, power and power to the sensor all in the same spot. However, after looking at your link, I changed it to having the resistor power in a separate section. Unfortunately, that didn't work either.

So what DO you get? The output might give someone a clue...

I can work on trying to figure out how to get a screen shot.
However, I'm getting just a w1_bus_master1. I don't have any other devices in the list.

You get that when it can't find the device. The wiring is the most important part. If you're using a bread board, I'd double check with a meter that the connections are being made between the breadboard contacts and the wires and components. Your posted link does work as published. I've just just made one by soldering a DS18B20 and a 5k resistor to a 5pin female header. There isn't a lot to go wrong.

Just to be sure, it works exactly the same on a B+

Hello there,

Check out this question: http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/qu ... a-gpio-pin on raspberry pi stack exchange that I have both asked and answered. I was having exactly the same problems you talk about, try this solution and come back to me with the feedback. +1 the question on the stack if it helps you
