I tested the TEMPer (1130:660c) with my Raspberry Pi, and it works:

root@raspberrypi:~# temper-mon 
30.50

1 2	root@raspberrypi:~# temper-mon 30.50

Good luck with the USB HID support for model 0c45:7401. Did you check the changelog for the HIDtemper perl libraries to see if it is supported? You might need to get the latest build with CPAN. It’s not a fun task, but there are guides to help you.

My code doesn’t do any of the USB work. It just uses the existing HIDtemper perl libraries. If they don’t support your device, temper-mon won’t.

I do, and it installed successfully, however for some reason I do not get the device appearing when I run the lsusb command, I may have a different version…. Checking the logs mine is a different version to what yours is/was :(

usb 1-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 48 using dwc_otg
usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0c45, idProduct=7401
usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-1.3: Product: TEMPerV1.4
usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: RDing
input: RDing TEMPerV1.4 as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/input/input168

I may have a look at modifying the code and seeing if I can get it to work anyway

That’s a great idea. I’ve just added the temper-mon package to my wheezy repository for Raspberry Pi. I’m not in a position to test with a Temper device right now. The dependencies install, however. Would you mind testing?

This guide looks to be EXACTLY what I need, however I cannot seem to locate the ‘temper-mon’ package for the Raspberry Pi, and the cpan method didn’t work.

Do you have plans to update the Temper-mon Package to allow it to function on the Raspberry Pi? The ability to run more than one sensor from a single PC is awesome!
