Go module to control the mlx90614 temperature sensor using a Raspberry Pi.

mlx90614

A Go API to control an MLX90614 temperature sensor using a Raspberry Pi. Uses periph.io to handle I2C communication with the sensor.

Example

func main() {
    // Create a new connection to the sensor. An empty bus ("") uses the first
    // available I2C bus. A 0 address uses the default address of this sensor
    // (0x5A). You can also use mlx90614.Addr as the address.
    sensor, err := mlx90614.New("", 0)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    // Don't forget to close the sensor after using it.
    defer sensor.Close()

    // This function returns a type mlx90614.Temperature that can output the
    // value in t.Celsius(), t.Kelvin(), and t.Fahrenheit().
    tA, err := sensor.TAmbient()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    tO, err := sensor.TObject1()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Ambient temperature: %.2f C", tA.Celsius())
    fmt.Printf("Object temperature: %.2f C", tO.Celsius())
}
