some simple realtime sensors?

Apr 27, 2006 3 Replies

Heya all



Could someone direct me to any kind of resource about measuring temperature, relative humidity and air pressure in real time? Googling on these things yields only high;y comoplex weather stations with proprietary software that can do all kinds of things but not actually write out what's going on right now into a file. I find all kinds of clever data-loggers and data-shuttles and such -- if I wanted to know what T,rho and P were in my house over the course of the last week, I'd be set. But if I want to know what it is right now (unattended, that is, so that I can log in from afar and poll it) I seem to be SOL.



Is there truly nothing like this out there? I'm about ready to roll my own (i mean, I need three sensors and a couple digitizers, how hard can it be) but I figure maybe someone out there has already done the work and is willing to accept my money in return for something I merely have to plug in somewhere...

My favorite *cheap* temperature sensor kit might interest you:

Up to four sensors with a very simple ASCII output that you can easily log to a file, for less than $20.

You might also look at the One-Wire weather instruments from AAG electronica at:
