PIC16F877 and DS1820 temperature sensor example

In this example we connect the ever popular DS18B20 temperature sensor to our PIC, we will then display the temperature on our LCD

We used the DS18S20 in our example this was connected to PORT E pin 2 of our PIC16F877, once again we had a 16×2 LCD connected to PORT B.
