The 1wire bus supports various low speed digital devices and is supported in Linux on the Raspberry Pi.

NB All DS18B20 thermometers sold by from non-reputable dealers are fake.

Edit boot/config.txt to assign gpio4 for 1wire.

dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4

Reboot and after load driver.

modprobe w1_gpio

These are the GPIO header pin assignments for the 1 wire bus.

The relevant pins on the Pi header are as follows.

                +---P1---+
3V3             01      02 5V
GPIO0/GPIO2     03 A/A+ 04 5V
GPIO1/GPIO3     05 B/B+ 06 GND
GPIO4           07 2    08 GPIO14/TX
                ..      ..

NB. The 1 wire data line must pulled high via 4K7 to 3V3 power.
