Re: Time stamped temp logging

Re: I want my Python and nothing else!

Once you have Raspbian Lite running, you may be able to tweak things a little to make it boot faster. One obvious thing is to add a line "initial_turbo=30" to /boot/config.txt which will force the CPU up to maximum speed for the first 30 seconds or so, or until the governor kicks in. You can use sy...

well as this is the raspberry pi forums, and you are running the code on a PC, I feel you'd be better off asking on the retropie forums ;)

Re: NoIR Baby Monitor - add Temp?

Break the project into blocks. First you need to get hold of a DS18B20 sensor and get the pi reading temperatures. Then you need to find out how to make the reading into a string and amend the user_annotate.txt file. There are lots of examples on this forum and the net on how to connect the sensor t...
