Here are three ways you can measure the CPU temperature of your Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Basic CPU temps via Terminal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Terminal, use <\/p>\n\n\n\n

vcgencmd<\/span> <\/span>measure_temp<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
This will give you a one-off reading. If you want to monitor the temperature of your Raspberry Pi at select intervals, use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The parameter -n allows you to declare the number of seconds between intervals. In this case, it’s two seconds per reading.<\/p>\n\n\n
