At a command prompt (don’t forget to SSH into your Pi first), run the following command: $ cd /home/pi/Īfter you enter the curl command in the command prompt you will see something similar to the following output to the screen: ~īeginning ISStreamer Python Easy Installation!

Next, we need to install the Initial State Python module onto your Pi. *You may need to install pip if your version of Python does not have it preinstalled. Go to and create a new account or log into your existing account. You’ll need somewhere to send your data to keep a historical log and view the real-time data stream so we will use Initial State. There are other single board computer that can work as well, but that’s for another time and another article. Whatever Pi you choose, make sure to purchase a charger since that is how you’ll power the Pi and an SD card with Raspbian to make installation of the operating system as easy as possible. You can only buy one Zero W/WH at a time due to limitations by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Zero W/WH is the cheapest but if you need more functionality you can choose between the 3 and 4. Between those you can choose based on pricing and features.

You’ll want a Raspberry Pi that has WiFi built in, which are any model 3, 4, and zero W/WH.

The ease of use and ability to code with Python, the fastest growing programming language, has made them a go to solution.

Raspberry Pi’s started out as a learning tool and have evolved to an industrial workplace tool. A Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive single board computer that will allow you to connect to a temperature sensor and stream the data to a data visualization software.
