The TMP006 is the first in a series of temperature sensors that measure the temperature of an object without the need to make contact with the object. This sensor uses a thermopile to absorb the infrared energy emitted from the object being measured and uses the corresponding change in thermopile voltage to determine the object temperature.
This module breaks out all the necessary pins of TMP006. With on-board LDO chip, you could supply 3.7DV ~ 5.0V DC. The module sends and receive data through I2C interface.
We add a red LED indicating the power on the board. So far we didn't find that it affects the sensor result by comparing. You could remove it with a soldering tool if necessary.
There are many evironment factors to determine the result of the sesnsor. In the test, we found even wind could change the result. Please read the TMP006 user guide carefully before you embed it in your project.
We supply a sample library for Arduino board. Please note that you may need to change the code according to your application. This library is not "perfect" for every project. We could not guarantee that. We hope it could offer some help. Please refer to IT's product website for more technique document.
