M5StickC NCIR Hat(MLX90614)

The NCIR_HAT is an amazing infrared sensor designed to be fully compatible with M5StickC. Just like the M5Unit NCIR, this stickc HAT module comes with an integrated MLX90614, which is perfect for measuring the surface temperature of a human body or other objects. With its stickc HAT case cover, you can easily transfer all implementations to a stickc - based controller. It's tiny, low - cost, and highly productized. Unlike many temperature sensors, this one measures infrared light from remote objects. That means you can sense temperature without touching the object. Simply point the sensor at what you want to measure, and it will detect the temperature by absorbing the emitted IR waves. It can sense a wider temperature range than most digital sensors and takes measurements over a 90 - degree field of view, making it great for getting the average temperature of an area. The MLX90614 is factory - calibrated in wide temperature ranges: - 40 to 125 ˚C for ambient temperature and - 70 to 382.2 ˚C for object temperature. Connect it to M5StickC via GOIO 0/26 (I2C add: 0x5A). Product Features: M5StickC Compatible, Operating voltage: 4.5 to 5.5V, Measuring object temperature range: - 70°C ~ 382.2°C, Measuring ambient temperature range: - 40 to 125 ˚C, Measurement accuracy at room temperature: ±0.5°C, Field of view: 90°, Software Development Platform: Arduino, UIFlow(Blockly, Python). Included: 1x NCIR HAT. Applications: Body Temperature Measurement, Object (biological) Motion Detection.

Using this infrared sensor is a breeze. First, connect it to your M5StickC via GOIO 0/26. Once connected, power it up with a voltage between 4.5 and 5.5V. To measure the temperature of an object, simply point the sensor towards it. The sensor will then absorb the IR waves and detect the temperature. When using it, keep in mind that the measurement accuracy is ±0.5°C at room temperature. Also, note that it measures over a 90 - degree field of view. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside its specified range. If you have any problems, refer to the official channel or forum for help.
