Looking for input on the design of a temperature measuring device using a Raspberry Pi.
I would like to use this forum to do a white board design exercise on a project I am developing. One of the interactions I miss after retiring from a 37 years career in technology, is the ability to sit with a group of techies and socialize an idea to get their perspectives. I would like to try using the Element14 community for such an exercise.
In a closed group, I would know the backgrounds of the individuals participating and from experience be able to evaluate their have opinions. Not all opinions have value. Using this forum doesn’t afford many of the face to face controls. I would like to work around that. I suspect there will be more overhead on my part to evaluate the input. I look forward to interacting with those who wish to participate.

Looking for input on the design of a temperature measuring device using a Raspberry Pi.
I would like to use this blog to do a white board design exercise on a project I am thinking of starting. One of the interactions I miss after retiring from a 37 years career in technology, is the ability to sit with a group of tech guys to socialize an idea and get perspectives you may not have thought about. I would like to try using the Element14 blog for such an exercise.
In a closed group, I would know the backgrounds of the individuals participating and from experience be able to evaluate their have opinions. Using this forum doesn’t afford those controls. I can accept that. I suspect there will be little more overhead on my part to evaluate the input. I look forward to inacting with those who wish to participate.
Please provide input around designing a temperature recording device using a raspberry Pi. The term input, can be defined as suggestions, recommendations, best practices, directions or questions. The pi_temp unit will be used to measure and record water and air temperatures in and around an Atlantic Salmon fish ladder. The ability to operate without AC power would be an advantage but not a requirement. The unit will be isolated and have no access to a communication network. Data collected should be stored locally and retrieved manually on, no predetermined schedule. The unit may be deployed in rugged conditions exposed to the elements. People deploying and operating the unit, as well as collecting the data may have little technical skills.
Context:
I made an offer to build a device using a Pi, for a non-profit organization that works for the preservation of Atlantic salmon, to record water and air temperature and store the data for collection. This is a volunteer project with no funding provided. All cost are out of pocket. There are no plans to make this into a commercial product. I will write for publication in a technical resource when the project is complete. I saw a manual process and thought, hey I can fix that.
The project provides only the personal gain of applying years of technology knowledge to assist in solving a real world problem. My retirement now affords me time to take advantage of some of the offerings in the Element14 community.
Before starting the final design, I will make a post on this forum containing a list of the requirements I have gathered and hope to achieve in the project. This is mean’t to be a white board dialog exercise (experiment) to solicit input from tech folks. I welcome your participation.
