M5StickC NCIR Hat MLX90614 Temperature Sensor

The NCIR MLX90614 HAT from M5Stack is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor that can be attached to a M5Stick. This sensor can be used to measure the surface temperature of a human body or a moving object. Unlike most other temperature sensors, this one measures the infrared light emitted by distant objects, so it can detect the temperature without contact. It has a wide measuring range from -70°C to +380°C! The measurement is done over a field of view of 90 degrees, allowing the average temperature of an object to be determined.

This NCIR Hat communicates with the M5Stick via the I2C interface (address is 0x5A).

Features MLX90614:

• Measures the surface temperature of an object without touching it
• Also measures the average temperature over an area
• Non-contact, high-precision, high-resolution, fast measurements
• Calibrated by the manufacturer for high precision

Application Examples MLX90614:

• High-precision non-contact temperature measurement
• Industrial temperature control
• Temperature control of household appliances
• Temperature measurement of rotating parts
