usense USB Sensors
Supports the Vernier GoTemp and the TEMPer1 USB temperature sensors via libusb.
Vernier GoTemp!
The Vernier GoTemp! looks like this:
NOTES
- Expensive
- Requires calibration
- Probe is not salt-water tolerant.
- When potted in epoxy, probe lasted 12 months
TEMPer
The TEMPer1 and TEMPerNTC devices look like this:
Supports the TEMPer, TEMPer1 (with external probe), and TEMPerNTC (with external probe)
NOTES
- Cheap
- Factory calibrated
- Probe on TEMPer1 is not salt-water tolerant over a long period
- Internal hardware of the TEMPer1 has changed, from a USB Serial to a USB HID device
After about 3-4 months, salt water will get between the wire and the epoxy, and reach the integrated circuit inside. I do not recommend this device as-is for salt-water immersion.
However, this probe works fine for measuring tank temperature if you tape it to the outside of the tank, then tape some insulation over that.
