"""Python script to read temperature from DS18B20.

I plug the sensor data into pin 4 on the raspberry pi which requires pin 4 to
be a gpio pin. If the modprobe commands don't results in the device showing up
in the bus folder then make sure the following line is in `/boot/config.txt`:

```
dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4
```

After rebooting and the script should work.
