Raspberry Pi Temperature Sensor Plug and Play

Firstly put down that soldering iron and the bread board and plug in this USB Temperature sensor for the Raspberry Pi

Requirements

All that is required to read temperatures with your raspberry Pi is

• A free USB Port
• UTS-T4 or UTS-T11 USB Temperature sensors
• A Raspberry Pi with a running Linux system 
• Putty on the PC
• WInSCP on the PC

Steps to read temperature

1. Plug in USB Temperature Sensor
2. Find the USB port it has connected to 
3. Edit the python script to the correct USB port
4. Run the Python Script

The  full USB Temperature sensor range can be found here 

watch the video guide below on how to use the Raspberry Pi Temperature sensor 

Conventional temperature sensor with raspberry Pi

The image below that is most popular when in fact it is over complicated!

This solution requires breadboard and an external temperature sensors with external components.

This is susceptible to intermittent connections, miswiring and a non portable system without a raspberry pi hat that may require soldering.
