Devices to Measure Temperature

Home >> Environment Monitoring Programs >> Devices

Seeking two inexpensive devices (serial and ethernet) to measure temperature. The serial device could be a USB device that presents itself as a virtual COM port (VCP).


New! USB Device with VCP

DLP-TEMP-G 3-Channel Data/Temperature Acquisition Board for $25.00 (includes one temperature sensor): www.dlpdesign.com/usb/temp.shtml

This device has been ordered and it is intended to be the first device supported by this project. Here are the VCP drivers: http://ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
