Webthermo: Web-based Temperature Monitor
Mar 13th
Ok, so someone has already beaten me to it (and done a excellent job of it as well) with the whole web-based temperature monitoring thing, but anyway… Here’s Webthermo! 
Webthermo, my follow-up to Ardthermo, is a small, web-enabled Python script which uses the CherryPy HTTP Python framework. It allows you to monitor temperature (in both Celsius and Fahrenheit units) over the Internet (using the port-fowarding facility of your Router), or on your own LAN via a web browser, your favorite RSS reader or a WAP-capable Mobile phone, using the same Arduino sketch and hardware setup as was used for Ardthermo.
It’s still in the early stages of development at the moment, so its still a bit rough around the edges but it works well enough. You can get a copy of the Python script, which also includes the Arduino sketch needed for the hardware side of things, from the Software page.
System Requirements and instructions on how to use Webthermo can be found below. Enjoy everyone!
Thermometer Project: Update
Mar 8th
Rich Davies has send in his Temperature measurement Sketch which uses an LM35 temperature sensor, as apposed to a thermistor. It can give readings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, too. His Sketch code, which includes an ASCII diagram for connecting the LM35 to the Arduino, can be found below:
Arduino-based Talking & Remote Thermometer
Mar 2nd
After recently getting my hands on an Arduino Duemilanove, I came across this Sketch on Arduino Playground that allowed an Arduino to function as a temperature measuring device with the addition of a few cheap and easily obtainable components.
Deciding to take things a step further, I wrote a Python script to create a DIY temperature measuring device that could be used both locally, via the command line, as well as remotely, using a googlemail account to check the temperature of a room. You can grab a copy of this script, called “Ardthermo”, from the Software page.
This article should give all the info you need to know to build this little project for yourself and make use of the Ardthermo script. Enjoy.
