As I was looking forward to doing some DIY projects during this quarantined time, Arko suggested an external display for PC’s temperature monitoring… Googling, I found this nice Instructable and essentially replicated it. Though it didn’t work right out of the box, So I forked his original GitHub repo and made some adjustments to the sketch.
This turned out Okay-ish. I don’t like the stiff Arduino cable hindering/limiting flexibility… Planning to update it with an ESP8266/32 and make the whole thing completely wire-free. Initially, I’m thinking of a desktop script broadcasting the Infos over UDP and listen to that from the ESP (gotta see if that’s fast enough).
Still, OPEN TO IDEAS!!😅
