Raspberry Pi PC temp checker Answered

Hello forum,
I'm planning on buying a raspberry Pi this week. I know a couple programming languages, but only the basics.
I've had this idea for quite a while: Connect multiple thermal sensors to the Pi, and then connect the Pi to my old Android cellphone (Nexus 2), and mount the phone to my PC case, so I get read outs for the PC components (CPU, VGA, PSU, HDD, and so on).
Can someone help me, and explain how I can do this? I see it as a fun hobby to get into programming, and also reuse a cell phone, so I don't throw it away.

Hey Just something i wrote up quickly feel free to message me if you need any help

[code]

import os

import json

import requests

def getCPUtemperature():

res = os.popen('vcgencmd measure_temp').readline()

return(res.replace("temp=","").replace("'C\n",""))

def GetCpuFrequency():

res = os.popen('cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_fr$

return res

def SendNotificationToDevice():

temp = float(getCPUtemperature())

url = 'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/Comp_data/with/key/YOUR_KEY_HERE

payload = {'value1' : temp }

headers = {}

res = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)

temp = float(getCPUtemperature())

CyrrentCPUFreq = GetCpuFrequency()

##if (temp >60):

print('Current CPU frequency');

print(CyrrentCPUFreq);

print('Current CPU Temp');

print(temp);

SendNotificationToDevice();

[/code]

Cheers Benji
