Question

Using cron executing a bash script:

-every 12 minutes get the temperture(Python)

-Display the time, temperture, and location(curses)

-Blink the LED 20 times once every 5 seconds (C)

Using cron:

-Every 5 minutes send the temperture, location, and time to professor Donald's server (TCP-C)

-Blink the LED 40 times once a second(C)

-Professor Donald's return message will include a JSON string; display the returned "value" from Prof. Donald's

server in the middle of your screen(C and Curses?)

Answer 1

I am writing python code for getting temparature in every 12 minutes;

!/usr/bin/python/temp.py

import time

timeformat = time.strftime("Time_format: %H:%M, Date: %Y%m%d, ")

# Add the filename with the date for it will create new log daily

logname = time.strftime("")

filename = "".join(["/home/pi_programs/bredhult_temp.txt"])

# If already created, this will open the current log file, there is no need to create a new one

datafile = open(filename, "a")

textfile = open("/sys/bus/w1/devices/28-000006879f89/w1_slave")

# read the data and close the fil

text = textfile.read()

textfile.close()

# Split the data and extract the temperature value

temperature_data = text.split()[-1]

temperature = float(temperature_data[12:])

temperature = temperature / 1000

# write our newly formatted date, time and sensor value to our log file

datafile.write(timeformat + "Temp: " + str(temperature) + "\n")

datafile.close()
