INFRARED THERMOMETER
Infrared sensor module for non-contact temperature measurements
GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear customer, thank you for choosing our product. In the In the following, we
will show you what you need to bear in mind during commissioning and use.
Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please feel free to
contact us.
BASICS
This infrared sensor module uses the MLX90614 sensor and enables non-contact temperature measurements. The control is particularly simple via the I2C interface and is thus possible with a wide variety of microcontrollers and single board computers.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE ARDUINO
First, connect the module to your Arduino as follows:
| ARDUINO | INFRARED THERMOMETER |
|---|---|
| 5 V | VIN |
| GND | GND |
| SCL (D19) | SCL |
| SDA (D18) | SDA |
For usage, we recommend to use the MLX90614 Library from
Adafruit. To install
this, first open the library manager in your Arduino IDE under Sketch →
Include Library → Manage Libraries.
Here, type MLX90614 in the search box and install the library titled Adafruit
MLX90614 Library.
A suitable example program is already included in the library. Open this under
File → Examples → Adafruit MLX90614 Library → mlxtest. Transfer the code
sample to your Arduino and open the serial monitor to display the measurement
outputs.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE RASPBERRY PI
First connect the module to your Raspberry Pi as follows:
| RASPBERRY PI | INFRARED THERMOMETER |
|---|---|
| 3,3 V | VIN |
| GND | GND |
| SCL (GPIO2) | SCL |
| SDA (GPIO3) | SDA |
Before we can use the sensor we first need to enable the I2C interface on the
Raspberry Pi. To do this, open a new terminal window and enter the following
command
to open the Raspberry Pi configuration menu:
sudo raspi-config
Navigate here to the menu 3 Interfacing Options and activate here I5 I2C.
Now we can create our sample program. To make it as easy to use as possible,
we are going to use a class from Raspberry Pi
Tutorials for this.
Create a new Python file by entering the following command:
sudo nano mlx90614.py
Insert the following content here:Save the file with the key combination CTRL +
O, confirm with Enter and exit the editor with the combination CTRL+X.
Alternatively, you can download the sample program directly to your Raspberry Pi with the following command:
wget https://www.joy-it.net/files/files/Produkte/SEN-IR-TEMP/SEN-IR-TEMP- RPi.zip unzip SEN-IR-TEMP-RPi.zip
Now install the required dependencies with the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-smbus i2c-tools -y
Now you can run the sample program:
sudo python3 mlx90614.py
