M5Stack NCIR MLX90614 Temperature Sensor Unit
The NCIR MLX90614 Unit from M5Stack is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor. The sensor can be used to measure the surface temperature of a human body or a moving object. Unlike most other temperature sensors, this sensor measures the infrared light emitted by distant objects, allowing it to capture temperature without contact. The sensor has a large measuring range from -70°C ( -94°F) to +380°C (716°F)! The measurement takes place over a field of view of 90 degrees, allowing for the determination of an average temperature of an object.
This unit communicates with the M5Core via the GROVE A interface, the I2C address is 0x5A.
MLX90614 Features:
- Measures the surface temperature of an object without touching it
- Also measures the average temperature over a range
- Non-contact, high-precision, high-resolution, fast measurements
- Calibrated by the manufacturer for high precision
Application Examples MLX90614:
- High precision non-contact temperature measurement
