a lightweight script that logs the most important stuff about the raspberry pi

most important stuff what

• cpu temperature
• ambient temperature from a 1wire sensor

warning

CPU temperature is read from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp but that should work on every Linux computer
Ambient temperature is read from /sys/bus/w1/devices so you must have 1wire enabled, if you don't have that set SENSOR to 0

compilation and usage

make or gcc main.c -o measurer
Should throw no warnings
./measurer <output>
You can schedule this with systemd

why

like heavy ahh like databases grafana etc go away you're a performance monitor why'd you reduce performance
