The combination of connecting a Raspberry Pi to COSM makes creating a internet of things much easier than it has been in the past. The Pi with it's easy access to ethernet / WiFi and COSM's drop dead simple usability will graph all sensor data you send to it. 

This tutorial explains how to connect a analog temperature sensor to the Pi and use a small python script to upload that data for storage and graphing on COSM.

To follow this tutorial you will need

• MCP3008 DIP-package ADC converter chip
• Analog Temperature Sensor TMP-36
• Adafruit Pi Cobbler - follow the tutorial to assemble it
• Half or Full-size breadboard
• Breadboarding wires
• Raspberry Pi with a internet connection

Hey, that photo up there has the GPIO cable in backwards - so when you wire it up don't follow that pic!
