Gravity: I2C Non-contact IR Temperature Sensor For Arduino (MLX90614-DCC)

The Gravity I2C Non-contact IR Temperature Sensor is an Arduino-compatible module powered by the MLX90614 sensor. It measures surface temperatures remotely by detecting infrared radiation energy and wavelength distribution without physical touch. This module is well suited for students, hobbyists, and makers building contactless thermal monitoring and automation projects.

Non-contact infrared temperature detection

This sensor determines object surface temperature by measuring infrared radiation energy and wavelength distribution. Non-contact operation allows for clean, safe temperature readings from moving, hot, or sensitive targets.

MLX90614-DCC sensing core

At the core of the module is the MLX90614 infrared thermometer chip designed for accurate thermal detection. It reliably processes thermal radiation emitted from target surfaces into usable temperature data.

Gravity I2C interface standard

Featuring standard Gravity I2C connectivity, this module connects directly to compatible microcontrollers and expansion shields. The shared bus architecture leaves additional GPIO pins free for other project peripherals.

Simple Arduino integration

The module is designed for fast and direct integration with Arduino development platforms. It allows makers and educators to quickly deploy non-contact temperature sensing into robotics, science, and monitoring setups.
