DS1620 Question/Problem

Has anyone experienced any problems with the DS1620 giving the correct temperature with the Propeller? I am using the code downloaded from the OBEX site and have everything connected properly. The problem I am having is that the temperature is reading about 30 degrees F more than it should. If I put my finger on the chip, the temperature rises (as it should). It could simply be a bad chip, but I was curious if anyone has had similar problems.

Thanks for any help.

    I use the DS1620 without issues. If you post your code we might be able to help you find your problem.

    I have worked with a DS1620's that I swear was bad brand new. Try another chip if you can

    I'm assuming you had the same/similar problem? I just got a new one, and it works perfectly.

    Yeah, it read the same temp all the time, and no where close to room temp. Glad to hear the new one is working
