So it's Germany vs. the Targaryens?

Just got a temp/humidity and door sensors working on a Pi, tomorrow I get to decide how often I want to log temps, what temps to send a text/email to myself, how often to check temp/humidity and all that good stuff that needs dumped into a script.

I would rather go to some motivational seminar and walk over glowing coals before I would watch ~~football~~ soccer.

I always referred to all sports as "sportsball"

Recently it actually became a thing and now I am lost.

Only watching to support the boys but they lost oh well.

FrankenSwitch will get a display tomorrow Just need to order a longer FPC (flat ribbon) cable

I'm not yet sure if it will be the official 7" Raspberry Pi display or a 7" from Lemaker and a Banana Pro I have spare. Problem with the Lemaker: no touch controller

Nice. More pictures of FrankenSwitch as well I hope!

Here's my little project. All I really wanted was a temp monitor for one of the rooms. Total out of pocket cost on the hardware for this was like $40. Should I want more of the same sort of thing it'll be easy to copy the code

Also, my little adventure in C coding for the day:

tech@tempdoor-rpi ~/source $ tmphmd.out
 temperature = 24.0 degC 75.3 degF
    humidity = 41.7%

Hehe. Despite having a C and even some Assembler background, I really like to use C# today, even on the Pi with mono. Such a great language, very comparable to Java without all the BS.

Take a look at these sensors I am using: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00EU71QWK/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41E662BaZEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL100_SR100%2C100&psc=1&refRID=NPY8AEDW0YKRXAJV86AT

Dallas 1wire, very cheap, great quality, extremely easy to use.

Yep, I like 1wire stuff as well. I've just been spoiled by Adafruit having example code for everything they do. Makes getting the little bits working so much quicker and easier. All I really have to do is figure out the custom scripts I want (yes, I'm lazy, lol )

No code required, there's a virtual file driver (/sys driver) on Linux available or these. Just a one-liner, can will post that tomorrow if you like.

If it's not in /dev it's not a device! (Sorry, read some of that "Jokes only IT people would get" thread today.)

BTW, just found the same sensor over at Adafruit. The price is just 5 times higher... Must be the additional 4k7 resistor

Waterproof DS18B20 Digital temperature sensor + extras
PRODUCT ID: 381

Yeah, too many tech questions and threads end up hiding in here.
