Gorillacell Module 042: Non-Contact Temperature Sensor
Table of Contents

The MLX90614 is an infrared thermometer designed for non-contact temperature measurement. It can accurately measure the temperature of an object or person without requiring physical contact, making it ideal for applications such as thermal scanning, object temperature monitoring, and contactless safety systems.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Non-Contact Temperature Sensor module driven by the MLX90614 chip for experimenting with infrared-based temperature detection projects.
