We recently ordered one of these TEMPer USB thermometers. Ours says it’s v1.4. There is a lot of different software and instructions floating around online for these TEMPer devices. Eventually one of the programs I downloaded (temper-1.0) reported that the thermometer shows up as: Found device: 0c45:7401
Searching on that brought me to the software I needed, thanks to this blog
I found the download link:
http://momtchil.momtchev.com/files/pcsensor-1.0.0-multi.tgz
This included the file 99-tempsensor.rules which has the correct designation for this device, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0c45″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”7401″
# download software:
wget http://momtchil.momtchev.com/files/pcsensor-1.0.0-multi.tgz
# unzip
tar -zxvf pcsensor-1.0.0-multi.tgz
cd pcsensor-1.0.0
# copy the rules file to the udev folder
cp 99-tempsensor.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
# restart udev
/sbin/start_udev
# install source, first clean up earlier attempts
make clean
make
# now the program works
./pcsensor
here is the output: 2013/06/21 10:32:07 Temperature 72.39F 22.44C
