Gamma Scout USB Devices Driver Download For Windows

I like monitoring/graphing data, so I picked up this $10 TEMPer v1 [amazon text=USB thermometer&template=amazon search] from China for a DIY weather station. It is currently measuring the temperature outside my window.

#define FTDIYEISERVOCENTER31PID 0xE050 /. YEI ServoCenter3.1 USB./ /. ELV USB devices submitted by Christian Abt of ELV (www.elv.de). All of these devices use FTDI's vendor ID (0x0403). Further IDs taken from ELV Windows.inf file. The previously included PID for the UO 100 module was incorrect. The GAMMA-SCOUT® monitors radiation day and night and logs data for later download. The “RECHARGEABLE” model works with a rechargeable battery. When the GAMMA-SCOUT® is connected to a PC, the deviceis powered via the USB port. This protects and charges the akku. Measures α-rays. Gamma Scout Toolbox is an application that enables you to read out the data gathered and stored by Gamma Scout device. The data is provided in list format. You have to connect your Gamma Scout device to a computer USB port and the data is then automatically read out and displayed on your desktop screen.

The device is detected out of the box in Ubuntu Linux:

It still needs software to actually read data from the device. A suitable driver can be found here: https://github.com/petervojtek/usb-thermometer

Run as ./pcsensor

I needed something that would output in Collectd format, so I made some modifications, adding calibration and Kelvin output just for fun:https://github.com/standard-error/usb-thermometer

New options are:-k output only in Kelvin-o offset (in Celsius) added to all temperature readings-g[n] output for data collection/graphing tools (0=mrtg, 1=collectd)

offset is a floating point number added to all readings for calibration, it can be negative.

Probe is stated by vendor to be waterproof. I added some heat shrink just to make sure.

As for accuracy, it seems acceptable. Comparing to UK Met Office readings it is usually +/- 1 C, which is good enough for me.
