Binary compilation and installation (Debian / Ubuntu)

1. Install libusb-0.1.4 and dev package, plus build-essential

   sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-0.1.4 libusb-0.1.4-dev

   • Note: in some distributions the usb library libusb-0.1.4-dev may be named just libusb-dev (see Dockerfile)

2. Compile:

   make

3. Install:

   sudo make install

4. Uninstall

   sudo make uninstall

Usage instructions

Run log.sh, you may need to run this as root depending on your udev rules, i.e.

`sudo ./log.sh`

This will log the temperature every 5 seconds to stdout as a CSV stream which you can pipe to a text stream and open in your favourite spreadsheet package later.

For single temperature measurement, use:

./temper        # Single temperature read; time + temperature in text format
./temper_json   # Single temperature read; time + temperature in json format

To allow non-root users access

1. Add the udev rule set in /etc/udev/rules.d/ using the 60-temper.rules

2. Add a 'temper' group (using groupadd or edit the /etc/group file)

3. Add users to the 'temper' group

4. Reload the udev rules

   udevcontrol reload_rules

5. Unplug and replug the TEMPer device
