Re: [gpsd-users] RPi Temperature measurement - was Re: Garmin 18X-5Hz

[George Sexton]

I've done ambient temperature on a pi with a TMP 102:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11931

and with a DS18B20

They'll give you a value for ambient temperature, but they're not going to be sensitive to workload on the CPU.

I found this statement at http://www.elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usage

vcgencmd measure_temp

Shows core temperature of BCM2835 SoC.

address@hidden:~# vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=42.8’C

So I would assume the sensor is located in the BCM2835 chip/board (or equiv for a given model if RPi)

Yo Bryan!

Do you know where the sensor is physically located?

It is room temp, no way to get CPU temp on a RasPi.  I could on an
Intel, but I do not see this on an Intel.

I measure temperature on a pi with this script that produces mrtg data

#!/bin/bash
cpuTemp0=$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)
cpuTemp1=$(($cpuTemp0/1000))
cpuTemp2=$(($cpuTemp0/100))
cpuTempM=$(($cpuTemp2 % $cpuTemp1))

CPU="$cpuTemp1"."$cpuTempM"
GPU=$(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp|awk -F '=' '{print $2}' | awk
-F "\'" '{print $1}')

echo $CPU
echo $GPU
echo $(/home/mrtg/bin/up -t)
echo $(hostname)
