Linux USB Thermometer

This page is about a USB device that permits to measure the environment temperature and that works under Linux.

The device is the UJ503 from Joint Tech; it works under Windows and the manufacturer can provide a Windows SDK, but no Linux support is provided.

Here you can find an experimental Linux program that can read the temperature from the device.

It simply opens the SCSI device that is added when you insert the key and sends the specific SCSI command to get the temperature value.
