[arm-allstar] pcsensor

[David McGough]

Hi Dusty,
 
Yes, I got the lsusb output.   I'm not familiar with the model temp sensor
you've got, listed as:
 
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a86:e025 QinHeng Electronics


I google'd this device ID and others indicated that a very simple software 
update (probably just changing the device PID/VID in the program) was all 
that was needed to get it to work.  However, since I don't have one of 
these sensors, I can't personally test.   Where did you get this sensor??  
If I can get one, I'll try to update the software.
