This is actually on an old project I wrote back in 2006 using uIP v0.9. It uses a DS1820 sensor to measure my storage room temperature and send it in UDP packet to my database server. Database server then has software to alert me if temperature gets too low during winter.
Project has now been rewritten to use my picoos-net library, which allowed me to add a simple web server to system quite easily. I still use original hardware, which is either Olimex LPC-E2129 or Embedded Artists Ethernet Quickstart board (this is not available any more I think). To simplify testing, it is also possible to compile project for native unix program.
Main task of system sets up networking and initializes OneWire bus. After that it periodically scans the bus for sensors, reads temperatures from those and sends a UDP packet to database server. Main loop calculates also hourly average from temperatures and maintains history of those averaged values for one day. Continue reading “Temperature monitoring”
