Requirements (libusb-1.0.0 and python-usb) sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0 python-usb Source Codes git clone https://github.com/padelt/temper-python.git Usage cd temper-python sudo python src/temper.py Output Found 1 devices Device #0: 23.6°C 74.5°F
To allow non-root users access
sudo cp udev/99-tempsensor.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ Note: As default, root user has access to usb.
