I bought myself a couple of temper USB sensors from DX and found pcsensor.c which could read from the device. I bought 2 and had 2 more on the way, but the code only supported 1 device. Fortunately the code was open source, so I slightly modified it.

Use -d<int> to specify a device. Examples:

• device0: ./pcsensor -c -d0 -l1
• device1: ./pcsensor -c -d1 -l1

Thanks to the people who made this code.

WARNING: Only tested with temper 1.2

Here's the code with my modifications:
