lAt the first run python script nothing is written to the log file “cpu_temp.csv”. When I run the second time then the data is written to the log file. The script is to extract the temperature from the temperature sensor MCP9808. I know the data is first written to “w1_slave” under the folder “/sys/bus/w1/devices/28-0115a4f575ff”. The data for the log file are read always from this file. Can someone help me forwarding such that at the first startup script the data read from the sensor is written to the log file? I want the script started via cron. But since the first run doesn’t work nothing has been logged.
Python script for reading data from MCP98808 and write to log file “cpu_temp.csv”
import subprocess
import logging
import time
from time import sleep, gmtime, strftime
import smbus
#Constant things, that don’t change during run.
t_reg = 0x05
address = 0x18
bus = smbus.SMBus(1) # change to 0 for older RPi revision
def get_temp():
#The reading variable changes every time you run get_temp()
reading = bus.read_i2c_block_data(address, t_reg)
t = (reading[0] << 8) + reading[1]
temp = t & 0x0FFF
temp /= 16.0
if (t & 0x1000):
temp -= 256
return(temp)
with open(“cpu_temp.csv”, “a”) as log:
while True:
temp = get_temp()
log.write(“{0},{1}\n”.format(strftime(“%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S”),str(temp)))
time.sleep(10)
Output file cpy_temp.csv
