@Manxome Hi,
Datasheet can be found at: http://www.atlas-scientific.com/product_pages/probes/env-tmp.html? I haven't tried the code yet, but will (hopefully tonight). I am packing and getting ready to move by next weekend. I'm keeping my project unpacked until the last minute :). As soon as I test your code and @tage code I will reply back.Taking a second look at my code, inside the switch I should of wrote:
temp += tempinc; And temp += tempinf

Two minutes ago my jaw dropped when you said tenth place digit; I assumed you meant better than +/- 0.1 degrees centigrade accuracy. Re-reading it, I was hoping you actually meant +/- 1.0 degrees centigrade. The reason my jaw dropped is because the research I had done into this prior to today showed that +/- 0.25 degrees centigrade accuracy was really stretching it. However...
However!
However! You caused me to look again. And here is what I found! And at a VERY reasonable price for the accuracy too. So, I thank you for your question, you helped me to find something I am interested in too.
BTW, did you try any changes to your code?
Is this for an aquarium? 18 is pretty cool for tropicals...
Edit: There are some with different characteristics here, but all +/- 0.1 degree Centigrade accuracy, and some of them are cheaper!
P.S. But for such an accurate sensor, you are going to want more accuracy in your analogRead(), you might want a 16-bit DAC, here are the through-holes I could find, some are reasonably priced.
And here are some 24-bit DACs, they aren't through-hole, but the price isn't too bad. BTW, I've never tried anything like this yet, so it's likely there are things I haven't considered...
