Temperature Logger

Hi there,

I am looking for a temperature logger that will measure and RECORD the temperature inside and outside my land rover. I am sure there must be such a device, but i have searched and searched and cannot find such a thing.

Ebay and many other such places sell thermometers that will record a MAX and MIN temperature, and I might have to turn to one of these. but I am looking for something that will take say hour readings and record them.

Don't ask me why I want one, as there is no good reason except interest in statistics.

Thanks for any help you can give me ........

Perfect

Hi Xander - that is spot on, exactly what I was looking for! many thanks

Even better though, is that sort of thing is right up my wifes alley (wiring things) and hence have asked her to buy it, understand it and wire it up for my next birthday! She has six months

Brilliant

Ask any daft question on the HUBB and you usually get a non daft response. I love it!

Just glad I could be of help..only issue i can see is outside mounting.. it will be hard to get an air temp that will not be effected by the radiation heat of the ute-body..

but just to let you know these things are virtually indestructible.. ( i have tried)

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
