## Description

Songhe GY-906 MLX90614 Non IR Infrared Temperature Sensor Module IIC I2C Serial for Arduino: desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: Seems to work fine - The sensor seems to be reasonably accurate (within 3 degrees of other thermometers i have laying around). Interesting note: the read temp changes greatly with the distance of the object from the sensor. I am still trying to figure out the specifics of the temperature measurement from the datasheet. The arduino code to read the sensor over i2c is as following: Wire.beginTransmission(0x5A); Wire.write(0x07); // read ram address 7(Temp object 1) Wire.endTransmission(false); //The SMBus communication will only respond with 3 bytes: data low, data high, and PEC (is CRC-8) Wire.requestFrom(0x5A, 3,true); // request 3 bytes from slave device unsigned int r = Wire.read(); // receive a byte as character r |= (Wire.read()<<8); float k = r*0.02; //temp in kelvin float c = k-273.15; float f = (9*c/5)+32; //fahrenheit Serial.print(f); // print the character Serial.print(' '); c = Wire.read(); Serial.println();
Review: 3V, 90° FOV part - I will update this review after I get it up and running. This preliminary review is to let potential buyers know what particular MLX90614 part this is. I got a MLX90614BAA (see photo). It is 3V part (1.3 to 2 mA draw) with a 90° field of view. The operating voltage range is 2.6V to 3.6V with 5V being an over voltage. Do *not* attempt to power this device with 5V. The seller ("Teyleten Robot-US") answered a question here about the supply voltage, saying "3-5V". The seller gave a very bad answer. Unless, I suppose, the seller's objective is to get you to burn out the part and then have to buy another. The field of view is important. This sensor will read an average temperature over the field of view. If the thing you are trying to measure does not fill the FOV (±45°), then you will be measuring the temperature of it averaged with the things around it. Carefully consider the placement of the sensor and its distance from the object. Update: Plugged it in to my Raspberry Pi 2, and it worked like a charm. I connected it to pins 1, 3, 5, and 6, which are 3.3V, I2C data, I2C clock, and ground respectively. Then using the adafruit_mlx90614 module in Python, I was able to read the ambient and target temperatures. It worked for a few days, and then the part failed! It just up and died for no apparent reason, getting hot and taking over the I2C bus. I returned it to desertcart and got a new one the next day. That one has been working fine. I have found that even when the object fully fills the advertised field of view, the temperature can still vary with distance. I am doing A/B testing and not too concerned about the absolute reading. However if you need absolute temperature, I recommend calibrating with a contact probe, so that you know what your readings from this sensor actually mean.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked fine
*by J***N on November 21, 2020*

These temperature sensors were a bit difficult at times to make sure the data and clock lines were clean, but once the were directly soldered to our custom PCB they seem to work as expected. I wouldn't expect them to give super accurate body temperature readings, but they are a good enough proof of concept.
