I suppose this computer just tends to run warmer than some. I've never seen it below 50 C after more than two minutes of running :) Two days ago I opened up my laptop to see what dust bunnies I could clear out, but it was squeaky clean… I suppose this computer just tends to run warmer than some.

Geis Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:01:38 +0000 http://zenlogic.org/?p=433#comment-4654 What an elegant, artistic adaptation of a vintage gauge! My earliest "hobbyist" experiences with electronics were in the late sixties and early seventies, when reel-to-reel tape still ruled as the recording medium of choice. Tape recorders and amplifiers still had analog gauges, and their movement and soft light made them seem like living things--not at all like the digital limiting indicators that would replace them. Control knobs, too, gave us a direct, tactile relationship with the equipment. Travis, you have picked up on an important sentiment here. Whatever your inspiration--monome.org, personal exploration, vintage aircraft--I hope you run with it. I can't wait to see where this takes you!

I just have to write an Arduino program to convert CPU temperature to a current. That's the next step :) The gauge still measures mA.

Hope you're having a great time! Rainer I am wondering, how is it possible for you to make the gauge specifically measure the CPU usage and stop measuring the milliamperes?

Did you use my t3? Just wondering, because these are so sharp but are not on my card. How did you get these photos? Did you use my t3?
