Hi all, Just in case anyone is casually interested, I have been playing with Dallas temperature sensors and Linux. I am building a weather station, and the first step is to build the instruments. The second step is to collect data and the final step is to present it tidily. Rinse and repeat for every instrument.
Anyway, my first results (temperature sensing) are here: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/blighty/weather/ I am using Debian stable (Woody), but I had to download DigiTemp as there is no apt-gettable package, and compile Ploticus as the apt-gettable package is old and, er, crappy. Graphs are uploaded to paradise with ftp- I am not running my own server. I have been inspired by Jeff Northcott's weather page (Google is your friend). He is in Hillmorton, and has a good set-up. It will take me some time to build and test all the instruments I want, but still, it's a lot of fun. Andy
