SENSORS / TEMPERATURE / MELEXIS CONTACT-LESS INFRARED SENSOR - MLX90614 5V
DESCRIPTION
This cyber-tronic looking sensor hides a secret behind its glimmering eye. 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. Simply point the sensor towards
what you want to measure and it will detect the temperature by absorbing IR waves emitted.
Because it doesn't have to touch the object it's measuring, it can sense a wider range of
temperatures than most digital sensors: from -70°C to +380°C! It takes the measurement over an
90-degree field of view so it can be handy for determining the average temperature of an area.
This sensor comes in an easy-to-use metal can. You can easily solder it or plug it into a
breadboard. The four pins are used for power, ground, i2c clock and i2c data. There are two
versions, one for 3V power and logic levels and one for 5V power and logic levels. This item is
the 5V version! - good for use by classic Arduinos. You'll also want two 10K pull-up resistors
for the I2C data lines, which we thoughtfully include.
Of course, we wouldn't just hand you a datasheet and wish you luck, we've written an easy-to-
use tutorial & Arduino library with an example that will have you up and running in 5 minutes.
The code can also be ported to any microcontroller with i2c support.
