KEY FEATURES OF Non contact Infrared thermometer GY-906 MLX90614

• perfect for measuring temperature of moving objects.
• Temperature range:  -70°C to +380°C
• accuracy of 0.5°C
•  rated for -40°C to +125°C.
• has a 90 degree field of view
• I2C/SM Bus interface
• Optional PWM and interrupt output
• 3.3V or 5V operation
• contactless temperature reading
• This can be very useful for monitoring the temperature of something moving like a spinning motor shaft
• The sensor has a built-in optical filter that cuts off the visible and near infrared light to minimize their impact on the reading.

The  has 3 basic modes of operation. 

• can communicate the temperature or have settings configured using the I2C bus.
• communicate the temperature continuously using a PWM signal where the duty cycle of the signal represents the temperature.
• thermal switch

The output drive capability is 25mA.

Supplying Power

•  has a 662K 3.3V regulator
•  6V max on the VIN power input pin
•  powered with 3.3V on the VIN pin,
•  compatible 5V and 3.3V MCUs.

Module Connections

1 x 4 Header

• VIN=  3.3 or 5V to match MCU
• GND = Ground
