Setting up raspi02 for Temperature Logging
In this post I begin the setup of one of my Raspberry Pi's to monitor and eventually logging of temperatures around the house from some hardwired sensors.
Here is a picture of raspi02 connected to a Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and a breadboard for testing.
I will start by prepping a new Rasbian Image on the SD card for raspi02
Use etcher to burn newest raspbian-stretch-lite to SD card for raspi02
Plug the card into raspi02
first boot
change password
change hostname
enable predictable network interface names
change locale en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
change timezone America - Toronto
enable SSH
enable 1-wire interface
overclock medium
update raspi-config
sudo vi /etc/dhcpcd.confset static ip address
reboot
At this point I am ready to start testing the 1-wire sensors that I have attached and then write some Python code to monitor the temperatures.
Next post will be my basic test code in Python 3.
Love this @mytechtrail if you'd like to share your project on my podcast Meadows and Makers sometime I would love to chat with you about it. Every Saturday 5-7pm UTC or 1-3pm EST. If you're on discord I'd love to link up with you you can find me there at @makinstuff #0201

Thanks I will see if I am free tomorrow. I will do you on Discord.

Cool! Are you hardwiring the connections or are you going to use some sort of wireless link? Plus are you just going to log the temperature or do something with it?
Raspi02 has three hardwired 1-wire sensors. If you look close at the picture there are two before shrink wrapping. I will eventually be logging the data and if I get to learning more advanced Python I will even graph on a real time Raspberry Pi display.

I hadn't noticed those. Is Raspi02 your nickname for the pi you're using? As it's a Pi Model B by the looks of it rather than a Pi2.
I wondered if you were connecting them via ESP8266 and WiFi? As you could have them around the house communicating via WiFi. If you chose the correct board you could do all that using MicroPython too.
Yes raspi02 is the host name, loosely tied to the static IP address I assign for easy connect over ssh. Yes, that is a Pi Model B. I have 11 Pi's (B, Zero, 2,3 and 3 B+). I will be connecting some Moteino (arduino with 915Mhz RFM69 radios) to another Pi to do wireless temperature monitoring and logging.

Looks fun, beats my ir blaster pi attempt(which I haven't progressed on).

Well I don't think I will list the RPi hats that I have purchased and not put into use yet.
