pytemper's Introduction

PyTEMPer

Simple interface to USB TEMPer thermometer device

Multiple devices are supported, but as there is no way to uniquely identify them it may be difficult to keep them straight.

Issues

May occur if you try to run as a non root user. Either run as root, or give permission to USB dev device.

usb.core.USBError: [Errno None] error sending control message: Operation not permitted

May occur when device is first connected, give it a few minutes. Do you have another monitor running?

usb.core.USBError: [Errno None] error sending control message: Device or resource busy

Fixed - due to buffer not being the right size.

usb.core.USBError: [Errno None] error sending control message: Value too large for defined data type

Hidden - due to check on kernel active failing

Unable to setup the device
