A compounding effect is that the daily summer temperature in South Africa is > 30 deg C. The Pi temperature rises within minutes from 45 deg C to redline at >90% for all four cores and > 80 deg C. Though I did my homework, I never saw the temperature issue coming. The one and only snag in this project (other than having three different power supplies to build into the box) is temperature. It also works brilliantly as a 1960/70's classic rock video jukebox and causes quite a stir whenever I demonstrate it. Many podcasters now do Youtube and no longer mp3 files, the low VHS class quality and small file size of. 3gp format sourced from Youtube playlists using youtube-dl. The purpose is as a video jukebox, primarly to play podcast-style videos in. I have built a portable wooden box containing a small screen, Pi 3, 500Gb (2TB is possible) powered USB drive and speakers. Yes, I am replying to a dated post, but collecting temperature data is critical in my case. What's the point? What does collecting those data do for you? So, your RPi is busy, it's running hot, so what? ![]()
