USB Thermometer
Digital thermometer probe with USB connection, based on genuine DS18B20 1–wire sensor and USB bridge interface, provides 9-bit to 12-bit temperature measurements. Each thermometer has an unique 64-bit serial code stored inside ROM.
Perfect solution for monitoring air temperature at home, in a greenhouse or in a server room. Measurements are more accurate since the temperature sensor is not in the same housing as the USB plug. Despite sensor’s wide measuring range it is advisable its usage between –20 and +85 degrees Celsius. Unit of readout value (Celsius or Fahrenheit) depends on software used.
Models (configurations)
Here are listed values of default USB thermometer configuration, depending on selected USB bridge interface: PL2303GL or CP2102N.
- Plug (shell) color: indigo (blue), white or black (PL2303GL); magenta (CP2102N)
- Cable length (between plug and sensor): approximate 82 cm – 2.7 ft (PL2303GL); 92 cm – 3.0 ft (CP2102N)
These values could be changed on request, e.g. put probe on longer or shorter cable, or make it waterproof (IP68) by putting the sensor inside a stainless steel or copper tube, so that the temperature of a liquid, e.g. water in a swimming pool, could be measured.
