Thanks @safrye! Did it connect ok and give a valid temperature reading?
It connected fine after I installed the USB permission and gave valid reading. Interestingly, also the old pcsensor program did not work before I installed the permissions, which was also the reason why I looked for a newer version. I use OpenSuse Tumbleweed and at least a year ago pcsensor didn't complain about not finding the device. Just to be complete here also the output of the TXT feature, without the external probe:
www.pcsensor.com type:fm75 caps lock:on/off/++ fw:1.3 num lock:Off/on/-- date time c c interval inside outside 25.50 err 1 25.50 err 1 25.63 err 1
Cheers and Thanks for the nice program.
P.S.: I recognized that temper-python only gives one decimal place for the temperature while pcsensor gives two. Any special reason for this?
@safrye Regarding the 1decimal place output, this is just how the output is formatted in the statement that prints the number to the screen, e.g. https://github.com/padelt/temper-python/blob/67d544dcf1bfa46726f88fe3cba2936cf7842029/temperusb/cli.py#L82
If you want more decimal places, you could import the library, create a TemperDevice()
instance, then call get_temperature()
. This will return a floating point value.
But do bear in mind the finite resolution, noise, measurement uncertainty and calibration error of these sensors if looking at the second decimal point.
Hi, I got the warning about a new sensor type:
WARNING:temperusb.temper:Unrecognised sensor type 'TEMPer2_M12_V1.3'. Trying to guess communication format. Please add the configuration to 'device_library.py' and submit to https://github.com/padelt/temper-python/issues to benefit other users.
Lsusb showed:Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0c45:7401 Microdia TEMPer Temperature Sensor
This is a metal body TEMPer2 with a TXT button.Cheers.
