Just had an idea to use Max to create a thermometer program to record temperature where I live.

I can work out the patch as I guess it's just a matter of the correct math to get the readout.

Does anyone know what kind of hardware I would use to give Max the readout of the temperature?

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I don't know.

PS. I am not asking anyone to do this for me or to tell me something I might be able to find out for myself, I just thought that this forum might yield some quicker answers.

If you look into the various sensor systems (Tea Box, I-cube, etc.) 

most have temperature sensors available. I'm sure you can put one 

together for the Arduino, MIDITron, etc. as well. then it's just a 

matter of a simple patch reading the sensor input.

You can get temperature sensors from Infusion

http://infusionsystems.com/catalog/index.php

and maybe some other sensor suppliers. I don't know how accurate they 

are. Of course you'll also need a sensor interface, of which there 

are quite a few, some cheaper than others. You would probably be best 

off with a self assmebly or unboxed unit, as that'll be much cheaper. 

I'll leave the interface recommendation to someone else though, as my 

brain is about to collapse from tiredness

(as usual) I'd suggest to consult the SensorWiki:

http://www.sensorwiki.org/index.php/Temperature

http://www.sensorwiki.org/index.php/Sensor_interfaces

Thermometer - what would I need hardware wise?
