Looking for a thermometer to connect to a PC

  • Article

My officemate and I were talking about this this morning.  We'd like to be able to use a PC to measure the temperature outside.  Ideally this would be a serial connected device with a probe that could easily be placed outside.  Google found us some, but there seem to be very complex and cost around $100!  We want something much simpler, anybody know where we could find such a device?

    Last summer the company I work for developed a rack mountable product for use with digital television systems which has an internal temperature probe and back in January one of my co-workers took one of the unused prototypes, rewired the existing probe to put it in a more wide open place and set up MRTG (over SNMP) to give us a nice graph of the temperature within the department.

    Sadly such a method is probably a little extravagant for you as the product it’s self runs around 5k.

    You could always make one?? Here's a schematic and VB5 source code for the app:
