Detection of DS18B20, arduino Mega

Question

I just bought a DS18B20 temperature sensor. I can't detect the device when i run this code :

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

// Data wire is plugged into pin 10 on the Arduino
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 10

// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices 
// (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);

// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

void setup(void)
{
  // start serial port
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Dallas Temperature IC Control Library Demo");

  // Start up the library
  sensors.begin();
 }


 void loop(void)
{
  // call sensors.requestTemperatures() to issue a global temperature
 // request to all devices on the bus
  Serial.print(" Requesting temperatures...");
  sensors.requestTemperatures(); // Send the command to get temperatures
  Serial.println("DONE");

  Serial.print("Temperature for Device 1 is: ");
  Serial.print(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0)); // Why "byIndex"? 
    // You can have more than one IC on the same bus. 
    // 0 refers to the first IC on the wire

}

Here are my connections: and output on Serial Terminal is:

"Temperature for Device 1 is: -127.00 Requesting temperatures...DONE"

I also tried to detect the address of my device but with no success.
I am using an arduino Mega 2560, i have read in some forms that maybe it has something to do with Clock speed or something like that.

I appreciate your help.

I mainly followed this tutorial : http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/ds18b20-arduino

Answer 1

In the Tutorial, which you are following, it says,

So we will use the 2 wire method. Simply connect both the GND and VDD pins to 0V (yes both)

and it shows:

but I think you are missing this step, because i can't see any connection like that here:

Answer 2

I attached VDD to GND and set it up so the 4K7 resistor was connecting the 5V to the data line - at first it didn't work, then I swapped it around as if the VDD and data lines from the sensor were switched - which it turned out they were.

Might be the case with your one.
