hi i am currently working on a direct read of GPIO for the raspberry pi for a work project .
i work underground in a mine with lots of large conveyor belts and drives i will use the script to monitor motor temps and power and also gearbox and bearing temps the raspberry pi is ideal for this with a wifi adaptor then view in emoncms.
at the moment i have a python script that reads the temps from the gpio and enters the data directly in the database for each sensor and a cron job every 15 mins.
currently it only reads GPIO temps but and working on power and also vibration monitoring though the GPIO and all the software is on the raspberry pi but if all goes well i will just use the pi as a remote to a main server underground
if any one wants a copy of current script and how set it up i will share it and also see if i can make the script some sort of module.
