Raspberry Pi temp gauge

[SomeGreekGuy]

Hello forum,

I've had this idea for quite a while now, and I thought I should share it with you guys, since I'm not too good with programming.

Have a raspberry pi, with multiple thermal sensors connected to it. Place the sensors onto multiple components of your rig (behind the CPU, on the GPU, PSU, hard drive etc.) and have the Pi display the temps on a 7 inch touch screen display. Then you can mount the display either to a couple empty bays, or you can have it on the inside of the case (if you have a big enough window, enough area, and the PC is on your desk, so the reading will be at eye level).

What do you guys (and gals) think? Can it be done?

If yes, how?

Thanks!!!

i don't see why not, but i'm pretty sure that without any real programming skills it'll take some time to figure it all out.

Could probs be done, but like... you can just get programs for this?

defeats the exercise, like when people ask us to do their programming homework.

Its possible

You can get it to say in the bottom of the desktop, in the program tray.

I want it to be indapendent from the actual PC.

This is very helpful, however I only know fortran 95. I kinda understand the code, but it still is very different from what I'm used to.

The follow up question is:

Is there a way to show the temps, in fixed places? What I mean is to show on the monitor something like this:

 

CPU:  45C

GPU:  60C

PSU:  50C

HDD:  28C

Intake: 26C

Outake: 30C
