Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have recently introduced a DS18B20 into my current project on a Mircomite (v 4.0503) and whilst I have had no issues communicating with it I have found that the program will crash if the positive power, in external power mode, to the DS18B20 is accidentally disconnected. If you 'accidentally' disconnect the ground or data wire I get a returned value of -127.938

I have been using the built in command, DS18B20(pin)

Anybody with any other experience with this?

I guess that is a normal behavior.
A good 1wire library should return error codes like:
- sensor not found;
- short circuit;
- bus error

etc.

Anyway, as it is, it provides basic functionality which is a good thing if is for learning or simple applications. A complete library, designed against any accident is much bigger.

A good library (as an inspirational source) can be found here:
