Raspberry Pi - Temperature module

Node module for retrieving temperature data from the DS18B20 temperature sensor on Raspberry Pi.

Setup

If this is the first time you are setting up your RPi and the temperature sensor then you should enable the 1-wire kernel modules that come pre-installed but not enabled: echo "dtoverlay=w1-gpio" | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt and reboot sudo reboot. If you have an OS which was released before January of 2015 (kernel older then 3.18) then run sudo modprobe w1-gpio && sudo modprobe w1_therm.

Installation

npm install rpi-temperature --save

Usage

Print out the temperature value:

const tempValue = require('rpi-temperature')
console.log('Temperature: %s C', tempValue.getTemperature())
