One of the main characteristics of the environment in which we live is the temperature and therefore its measurement is quite important. The easiest way to measure it is by using Maxim integrated 1-Wire sensors. This way you can connect up to 10 sensor to one DS2482 1-Wire to I2C converter. You can make it […]

Are you looking for an easy way to measure the temperature of something without having to attach a sensor directly to it? Consider using a non-contact temperature sensor like the TMP006! This sensor reads the infra-red radiation, or heat, emitted from an object and can be easily read over an I2C connection. With the TMP006

There are a lot of Instructables that show how to make a thermostat. But what if you already have a thermostat, and you want to log or monitor when it turns off and on? This Instructable shows how to use an optocoupler to obtain logic-level DC voltages from a common household programmable thermostat that connects

It’s been quite a long time, when I’d first posted this RPi sample. Time passed, I’d gathered some feedback form the community, took into account the comments, and this sample is ready to be published at Instructables for the public interested in microcontrollers and the Internet of Things. What does this example show? How easy,

Here are the instructions to build a simple termperature logger using a $5.00 I2C temperature sensor. The data is stored to the SD card and can be easily imported into excel. Simply by changing or adding other sensors other types of data can also be collected. The following components are used for this project: Raspberry

Connected to my Raspberry Pi is a DS18B20 temperature sensor which I have mounted inside the case roughly above the processor. I wanted to map the temperature profile inside the case and have a visual representation of it. To do this I joined up a Python script, an SQLite3 database and LabVIEW. I only have one

In our article DS18B20 Temperature Sensor with Raspberry Pi we detailed how the Raspberry Pi can be used to take temperature readings from a ds18b20 temperature sensor via the i2c protocol. Here we will expand that article to explain how multiple temperature sensors can be copnnected to the Raspberry Pi – particularly useful for example

Over the past couple months I’ve been implementing and building out a monitoring solution for our development and production systems. Since nagios is the most loved / hated monitoring solution I felt obliged to learn how it works. After fighting with user permissions, firewall rules, broken dependencies and basically any other problem it could throw

OK, Instructables is really having some strange issues, Once again the Intro disappeared, now the history is gone, and I’ve had to recreate the Intro from a PDF download. I had some issues with Kingston SD Cards, but the SanDisk cards I’m using now have run for weeks without issues, so I’m changing the parts
