This project monitors the CPU temperature of a Raspberry Pi 5 system and reports if the temperature exceeds a predefined threshold. It can help you ensure that your system is not overheating and automatically log or respond to temperature changes.

1. Clone or download the repository.

2. Ensure you have the necessary development tools (like gcc and make) installed.

3. Build the project:

   make all

4. After the build completes, the executable rpi_hardware_monitor will be generated in src folder.

To run the CPU temperature monitor, execute the following command:

src/rpi_hardware_monitor

This will start monitoring the CPU temperature. If the CPU temperature exceeds the defined threshold, an alert will be logged to the syslog.

• make all: Builds the program.
• make clean: Cleans up object files and the compiled executable.

This project is open-source and available under the MIT License.
