Monitoring Temperature With an Rpi / Would any Temperature Sensor Work

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello,


     I have a sensor probe that came off of a digital thermometer / timer. On the end of the probe was a 3/32 maybe headphone type jack. I am trying to remember if there were 2 or 3 sections on the plug so then there might be 2 or 3 wires.. I am not sure where it is at the moment. Why I'm asking, is because if it won't work at all, then I am not going to bother hunting it down, but if there is a chance that it might work, then it might be worth looking for..

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

    I am guessing you need ADC circuit and the Raspberry Pi does not have natively. But there are shields that provide support.Check the data sheet if you can find one.

    Thank you, Clem. I will look into it and see what I can find..It might be worth it to me just to buy a temp. sensor that will work rather than tearing up my house looking for it :-)

    If you're looking for a digital temperature sensor you may want to check out the DS18B20.

    You can find out some introductory information about it here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-11-ds18b20-temperature-sensing/hardware
