Connecting a sensor to pc with usb

[benno]

Just build my first sensor (temperature) ...
Can I test it without building the gateway? ie using usb and a pc?

Yes you can. Enable debugging (should be default I think) and/or add some output lines in your code and get a usb to serial converter. Connect that one the the RX/TX/GND pins on your sensor and to the usb port of your pc. Or just use something like an arduino uno for your first tests.
