Thermocron iButton Manager

Thermocron iButton Manager is a set of bash-scripts providing simple tools and even a simple user interface for managing and setting up Thermocron iButtons and to extract and visualize the logged data.

Thermocron iButton Manager has been developed and tested mainly in an Cygwin™ environment.

Currently supported features:

  • Set up logging with user defined interval (1..255 minutes)
  • Set up logging mission with user defined delay (0..1092 hours)
  • Toggle log rollover
  • Show status including the iButton's memory content
  • Set iButton's memory content
  • Stop logging mission
  • Extract logged data, save it to a plain text file, visualize a temperature graph
  • Quickstart - finds all connected Thermocron iButtons and starts a logging mission on all of them immediately. No log rollover, no delay, logging interval 1 minute.

RRDtool

To plot graphs from the logged temperature data RRDtool is used. Make sure it is installed in your *nix environment. For Cygwin go to the RRDtool Download page and download the windows binaries. Extract the zip-file (e.g. rrdtool-1.2.30-win32-perl510.zip) - you will find the rrdtool.exe binary in the subfolder data/rrd2/rrdtool-1.2.30/Release
