The LattePanda is a PC: psutil yields temperature, load and disk like any server. A home-made CSV journal watches the machine itself — the first reflex before loading it with compute.
Hardware required
A LattePanda Alpha (x86 Intel m3-7Y30, Windows 10 or Linux) with its ATmega32U4 co-processor, Arduino Leonardo compatible, on the 50-pin headers. None: internal sensors of the N5105/m3-7Y30.
Wiring
No wiring. On Windows, adapt the CSV path; x86 sensors appear via coretemp/lm-sensors.
How it works
psutil reads kernel counters (cpu_percent samples for 1 s); shutil measures free disk. The per-line flush protects against power cuts. The ATmega32U4 is a genuine Leonardo: flash it as « Arduino Leonardo » in the IDE through its internal COM port. Host-side, DFRobot's lattepanda Python library talks to it over serial.
Going further
A desktop alert (plyer) past 80 °C, or export to Grafana with the official node exporter.
