СPU Temp Monitor (Linux)

A lightweight Python utility for monitoring CPU temperature in real-time with data logging and moving average calculation.

Features

1. Real-time monitoring: Smooth console updates using ANSI escape codes (no flickering or scrolling).
2. Smart logging: Buffered I/O logic that writes to disk every 10 entries to save disk lifespan.
3. Moving average: Calculates the average temperature over a sliding window (last 60 seconds/10 samples).
4. Safe shutdown: Graceful interruption handling with try...finally to ensure all buffered logs are saved on Ctrl + C.

Tech Stack

Technology	Usage
Python 3.x	Core logic and execution
Pathlib	Robust cross-platform path management
Collections (deque)	Memory-efficient sliding window for AVG
Linux Sysfs	Direct reading from the kernel thermal zone

Troubleshooting (Error Handling)

If you see incorrect data or errors, it might be due to a different thermal zone index on your hardware.

1. Open main.py.
2. Locate the temperature() function (around line 14).
3. Change /thermal_zone1/ to /thermal_zone0/ or check your /sys/class/thermal/ directory to find the correct path.
