Hi,

The CloudGate's processor has an internal sensor to measure the die temperature, however, this is not a good indication for the temperature. A CPU will always run hotter than its surrounding. This die temperature can be read out in LuvitRED: https://cloudgateuniverse.com/docs/reading-out-cloudgate-temperature

The easiest interface to connect a temperature sensor to a CG mini would probably be I2C. You can find multiple temperature sensors on the market that use I2C to interface. Would this be a feasible solution for you?

Best Regards,

Harald
