[TriLUG] USB Temp Sensor

[tj via TriLUG]

my story on using temper device (and jump to arduino world)
I used temper simple device  before for my 1st  closed-rack enclosure.
temper device was working!
the temp precision is ok for my need at that time.
but
Integrating to my code was a nightmare. I got the C code on the net that
told me to: compile and add usb-id manually in the system.
I had to make sure temper device was up  and running. temper device
temperature was drifting (not correctly -2 or +2  degree on exact real
temperature) for running 24/7 (or could be my 2 temper were broken, I still
kept it for collection)






I jumped to arduino  wagon later.
2012, I built  "1st" model closed-rack enclosure again, with arduino mega,
DHT11, alas.... DHT11 was pretty unstable and bad decision on mind. I ended
up to rebuilt better one again.
2015, I rebuilt my 2nd model with arduino mega again. Backing up from my
experience, I picked  DS18b20 for temp and DHT22 for humidity sensors. This
build has been running 24/7 without issue, minor issu DHT22 is no good but
better than DHT11. I am ok. since only using DHT22 as humidity sensor.
Cheap ds18b20 is perfect and no issue at all. you can look on my build at
