USense

This package is based off of my 'Aquaria' aquarium controller project, and I felt that the USB sensors component would be more generally useful.

Have fun!

Compiling

Make sure you are running something current. Ubuntu 8.10 or later is recommended. I have not tested this code on any earlier distibution. A kernel later than 2.6.30 is recommended.

If you've checked this out from the repository, you will notice that the 'configure' file is missing. Not a problem! Just run:

$ autoreconf -i

That builds the 'configure' file, and all the automake and autoconf support files. From there, just run:

$ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install

Using

If you have a later model TEMPer, you will need to run the following command to prevent the build-in kernel HID driver from 'stealing' it.

$ sudo rmmod usbhid

To list the available devices:

$ usense usb:003.1 usb:003.2 usb:004.1

Get the properties of a device

$ usense usb:003.2 device=usb:003.2 calibrate.add=-0.05 calibrate.mul=1.002 reading=27 type=temp units=C usb.product=0002 usb.vendor=08f7

Get a single property of a device:

$ usense usb:003.2 reading 27

Configuration

$ usense usb:003.2 device=usb:003.2 calbrate.add=-0.05 calbrate.mul=1.002 reading=27 type=temp units=C usb.product=0002 usb.vendor=08f7

Set properties on the command line, before the property you want to read:

$ usense usb:003.2 calibrate.mul=1.003 units=F reading 106
