The DLL will work with all programming languages that support the 'stdcall' calling convention for DLL's. You can try it yourself!

Just released version 1.3 of the DLL.
New features:
- Support for Temper_1K2 thermocouple
- Improved support for multiple devices in a single application
- Temperature returned for TemperHum was incorrect, fixed
- Some small fixes
- New 'simple' demo added

2012-01-07T09:31:37.523-08:00

Just released a new DLL (version 1.1) that supports the following TEMPer devices:

- Temper (internal temperature sensor)
- Temper1 (external temperature sensor)
- Temper2 (internal and external temperature sensor)
- TemperNTC II (internal and two external temperature sensors)
- TemperHum (temperature and humidity sensor)

The DLL can be used with the current devices that work with Rding32USB.dll.
Older versions that use HidFTDll.dll are NOT supported!
The DLL size is 45 KB and you don't need other support files. (Rding32.dll is not needed for your own applications!)
You can download the file from this location:

http://www.homesecuritysoftware.nl/Delphi/TemperHumDll2.zip

File size is 245 KB. Examples in Delphi and VB6 are included. (Source and .exe) Happy programming!

2011-12-12T03:54:19.133-08:00

TEMPerDll = for TEMPer
TEMPerHumDll = for TEMPerHum!

The PIDs (Product IDs) are different, so this is the reason that the device is not recognised.

If you want to get rid of the nag screen, drop me a line. The mail address is shown in the window that you see after initializing the DLL routines.

By the way: http://www.homesecuritysoftware.nl/Delphi/TEMPerHumDll1.zip is a DLL that works with both TEMPer AND TEMPerHum. A demo (source and exe) is included.

2011-12-11T08:23:24.385-08:00

Hi again!
Sorry for reporting that both dlls were not working. This is not correct, as the TEMPerDll works nice, but the TEMPerHumDll is not working. I'm not sure, but it's possible that the TEMPerHumDll is only working on the Temp/Hum unit and not on the Temp only unit. Anyway, I'm well satisfied to get the TEMPer working!

2011-12-10T12:32:24.732-08:00

I have just got the TEMPer, but it does not work with the TEMPerHumDll.zip or the TEMPerDLL.zip :-(
When try reading, I only get "No sensor" and "Plugin USB sensor". Reading temp or humidity results in "-200.00"
It would have been nice to get this working!
How do I behave to get rid of the nag-screen?

2011-11-26T05:21:04.971-08:00

In the meantime I have also created a DLL that works with the current version of TEMPerHUM.
It is only 42 KB and you don't need other support files.

I have written a DLL that can be used with Delphi. It works with the recent version of TEMPer. It is only 41 KB and you don't need other support files. Try it yourself:

2011-01-18T21:06:10.934-08:00

Ok. This library did not work for me under Windows 7 x64 using my recently-purchased TEMPer1 USB thermometer. Apparently other people are having the same issue.

So, I decompiled the software from the included CD and have written a very dramatically simple library to access the TEMPer.

I've already posted an initial version of this on my website (yes - the rest of the website is unrelated). I intend to improve, polish, and test this library in the upcoming days and weeks, and I will post updates there (I will not be checking the comments on this blog).

Here is the URL where I have posted the library: http://minecraftam.com/TEMPer.aspx

2010-11-03T11:22:46.227-07:00

Hello,

I have also the same problem... ComPorts.Length returns Zero.

I ran it with full access but without success.

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

2010-08-24T12:57:47.984-07:00

Hi Anonymous,

I haven't touched this code in a while (especially since the newer TEMPer devices seemed to be a bit unreliable and problematic) but if you're having issues accessing your COM ports, I'd try this:

1. Close Visual Studio
2. Right click on your Visual Studio shortcut and click 'Run as administrator'
3. Try the code again

Under Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 (all of which now have UAC), Visual Studio will not necessarily have full access to your system's hardware. As opposed to disabling UAC, try the run as administrator trick.

Good luck.

2010-08-24T12:47:00.111-07:00

I've been unable to get this to work in my environment, using this exact method.

Whatever I do, ComPorts.Length is always returns 0 (Zero).

I'm using .Net v4, VS 2010, and Windows 7 (32-bit).

The HID TEMPer application that ships on the CD-ROM works just fine.....

Anyone with the same problems?

Sample code - that didn't work:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using TEMPer.Communication;

namespace PCTemperWindows
{
public partial class TempForm : Form
{
int i;
String[] ComPorts;
TEMPerInterface[] Devices;

public TempForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
ComPorts = TEMPerInterface.FindDevices();

Devices = new TEMPerInterface[ComPorts.Length];

for (i = 0; i < ComPorts.Length; i++)
Devices[i] = new TEMPerInterface(ComPorts[i]);
}

private void GetTemp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (ComPorts.Length==0)
{
MessageBox.Show("No Units detected!");
return;
}
Tempbox.Text = Devices[0].ReadTEMP().ToString();
}
}
}

I was really pleased to find this code.Thanks

2010-03-03T17:33:39.056-08:00

Anybody got any of these devices working on Windows 7 64-bit?

I have the TEMPer Hum but it _appears_ that it only comes with a 32-bit driver and not a 64-bit driver. Thus, when I plug in the device and run C#TEMPerHum (thanks Levanter30 for the post), it fails the CreateFile call in the CheckCOMPort function with an invalid file handle of -1. In Device Manager, I see the device yellow-banged-out with a name of "USB-SER!".

2009-10-20T05:30:49.748-07:00

Linux Python Source for the TemperNTC (both internal and external sensor) can be found here:
http://duskeren.dk/nyheder/temperntc-p-linux
Page is in danish, but the source is in the buttom of the page. Default reads internal sensor, can be changed to read external. Both sensors needs to be calibrated.
