USBTemp v0.1.1 released

  • The host software now compensates for some USB hickups.
  • The RRDTool graph generation script adds minimum, maximum and average temperature readings to the summary.

You can get the new version from the Mikrowerk page. The photo of the Galileo thermometer above was CC’ed on flickr by Nick Lawes.
