IrThermo 2 click carries a contactless temperature sensor named after a famous secret
agent.
The name is Click. IrThermo 2 click. It carries TI’s TMP007 infrared thermopile
sensor with an integrated math engine.
What it means is that you can measure the temperature of, say, a vodka martini, without
having to dip the actual sensor in the shaken-not-stirred liquid. Instead, the sensor
absorbs infrared energy from the target object and the internal math engine calculates
the temperature with a 14-bit resolution, in a range between -40 to 125°C.
The data is communicated to the target board MCU through mikroBUS™ I2C pins, but
there’s also an Alert pin, which can send an interrupt when, say, the vodka martini
reaches its ideal temperature.
Other than cocktails, the remote sensing capabilities are ideal for monitoring internal
heatsinks, batteries, or objects that present a hazard otherwise (high voltage for
example).
See more details on the product page. Also, Libstock examples, which are more
useful to Q than to his agent, are ready.
Yours sincerely,
