Anything at a temperature above absolute zero has molecules inside of it moving around.
Ir thermometer sensor mlx90614 h.
It can measure temperatures within the range of 70 to 380 degree celsius with an accuracy of about 0 5c at room temperature.
There are many temperature sensors available in the market and we have been using the dht11 sensor and lm35 extensively for many.
Before we proceed with the tutorial it is important to know how the mlx90614 sensor works.
The ir temperature probe consists of an optical system photoelectric detector amplifier signal processing and output module.
An internal 17 bit adc and a powerful dsp contribute to the mlx90614 s high accuracy and resolution.
Infrared thermometers work based on a phenomenon called black body radiation.
The mlx90614 is an infrared temperature sensor for non contact temperature measurement.
It has a huge number of applications including body temperature measurement and movement detection.
This is an evaluation board for the mlx90614 ir thermometer.
This module measures the surface temperature by detecting infrared radiation energy and wavelength distribution.
Small size and low cost.
Etekcity infrared thermometer 749 not for human temperature gun non contact digital laser ir thermometer 58 716 50 380 standard size black yellow by etekcity 26 99 26.
The sensor is connected to an atmega328 running at 3 3v with a stk500 arduino 8mhz bootloader.
Unlike most temperature sensors this sensor measures infrared light bouncing off of remote objects so it can sense temperature without having to touch them physically.
Some of the features of this sensor are listed below.
Code can be loaded through the ftdi basic interface and the arduino environment.
The mlx90614 is a non contact infrared thermometer with a measurement range from 70 to 380 degree celsius.
Just connect the four leads to your arduino and you will have a accurate thermometer with a resolution of 0 01 and a accuracy of 0 5 degrees or for that matter you can use any microcontroller that can communicate with it through it s i2c interface.
Our latest infrared temperature measurement module is the mlx90614.
