Tomorrow I might post our 3D printer operating system, which includes calibrated temperature readings and SMS alerts among many other things (webcam, motor control, and printing objects remotely)

Re: Show HN: Raspberry Pi Temperature Sensor Project
#14I hate to be "that guy" but if this is what passes for an interesting project these days, I could flood github with all the miscellaneous crap I have on my testbench. Temperature is the most commonly measured process variable. Measuring it in most cases is trivial ! Show me an RPi project that calculates the temperature of a blast furnace by measuring the air pressure and the speed of sound in the vicinity and I'll c…
"I could flood github with all the miscellaneous crap I have on my testbench."
I would say the vast majority of projects on Github qualify as 'miscellaneous crap'. Most employers these days require a link to your Github profile during the application process, which can be a pain if you have been working with closed-source systems your entire career, or are relatively new to the field (Github isn't part of most CS curriculums). Throwing up a few toy projects can be enough to get you through the screening process.
With that said, I personally wouldn't submit a project like this to HN (I have a very similar project on GH). But if it got enough up votes to get on the front page, who are we to judge.
