Raspberry Pi Linux Temperature Sensor Plug and Play

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

Plug in the UTS USB Thermometer the UTS T4 or UTS T11 and instantly read the temperature that streams through. It is the most user friendly and simplistic method of connecting and reading a temperature sensor with the Raspberry Pi which we have available in our store.

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 

As the video above shows, the temperature instantly streams out when the USB thermometer is connected to. the Python script is available for free.

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.
