Arduino Songhe GY-906 MLX90614ESF Non Contact IR Infrared Temperature Sensor Module IIC I2C Serial Review

I ran this sensor at 3.3V on an Arduino UNO but forgot the I2C lines were at 5V, which appears to have burned the chip despite claiming 5V is tolerable. spend $20.

These temp probes were a bit fiddly at times to make sure the data lines and clock were clean, but once they were soldered directly onto our board so they seem like expected to work. I wouldn't expect them to give ultra-accurate body temperature readings, but they're good proof of concept.

It's nice to have this option as it includes all the necessary pads the device needs to take data from the Read I2C bus. At 3.3V it works without problems. This board simplifies the use of the MLX90614 sensor. Others have discussed issues with the MLX90614 itself regarding distance calculations, but that's not the board manufacturer's fault.

See Flagstone78's review where he posted the code for the device. Using a combination of this and a few other things I found online, I was able to get it to work the way I needed it. The readings are a bit finicky and need to be paired with a distance sensor to get accurate readings as a slight distance of the device from the object being measured results in a wide range of temperatures. Also, without testing, it's impossible to know what distance to measure from to get the object's correct…
