Description:
The GY-906 MLX90614ESF -BCC Contactless Temperature Sensor Module is a device that can measure the temperature of objects without touching them. It works with Arduino or any other microcontroller that supports I2C communication.
The device uses infrared radiation to detect the temperature of objects. It has a high accuracy and resolution thanks to its internal 17-bit ADC and a powerful DSP. It can be used for many purposes, such as measuring body temperature or detecting motion. The device has a 35-degree field of view and gives the average temperature of all the objects within that area.
Note: This sensor comes with a breakout board with all of the components needed for operation and two types of pins.
