EUSB to up to four I2C-Temperature-Sensor Kit
EID's universal serial bus (EUSB) to
I2C temperature silicon based sensors kit is an Electronics kit
that allows you to connect up-to four Maxim/Dallas DS1621 or
NSC LM75 Temperature sensor to
your Personal Computer (PC) Universal
serial port.
The
status LEDs can be use to indicate alert i.e when
temperature is out of range.
The kit is based on Cypress
integrated circuit (IC), the CY7C63001.
Note:
The CY7C63001 IC is
Universal Serial Bus (USB) RISC type Micro-controller.
It conforms to USB 1.5 Mbps specification, version 1.1.
See
USB specifications at www.usb.org
for more details, or click here

data-sheet.
No
need for external Power supply! just plug to your computer and
monitor your room temperature.
Please
note: EUSB wire and Temperature sensors wires and board are sold separately.

Free
demo software (see above screen shots) allows you to fully
read and log the 4 temperature sensors. The remote temperature
sensors are a I2C controlled Integrated circuit (IC). The sensor's
ambient temperature can be displayed in both Fahrenheit
(F) and degrees Centigrade (C).
We
implemented very minimal log mechanisms with this demo
software. You can log the readings into pre-specified
file, named: EUSB_Temperature.txt. The software will automatically
save it in the same directory you install into your demo
software. The log file is limited to 1000 lines. The logged
temperature readings includes automatic stamping of
time and date. This unique free feature allows you to
monitor the temperature over time. Simply choose from on
screen the interval you want the temperature to be logged
(6-100 seconds).
You
can open the log file from other programs while the demo
software is running and logging to the same file. Our
free demo code includes built-in implementation of
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) functions that allows you to
do so. You can open the file in MS-Excel, MS-Word, Notepad
etc. Simply share it and read it from anywhere over the
network. (MS- Excel,

Please
be advised, the demo software is provided for free,
on as-is basis, without any warranties. Run or download it on
your own risk!
All
you need to do is plug-in the kit via EUSB cable to your
PC, run the free demo software, and viola, you can log
and read the
4 IC temperature sensor's ambient temperature.
