API for the TMP006 IR-Thermopile Sensor.
ID: tmp006
Name: TMP006 IR-Thermopile Sensor
Category: temp
Manufacturer: ti
Link:http://www.ti.com/product/TMP006/datasheet/abstract#SBOS5183423
Connection: i2c Description in web-link above: The TMP006 and TMP006B are fully integrated MEMs thermopile sensors that measure the temperature of an object without having to be in direct contact. The thermopile absorbs passive infrared energy from an object at wavelengths between 4 um to 16 um within the end-user defined field of view. The corresponding change in voltage across the thermopile is digitized and reported with the on-chip die thermal sensor measurement through an I2C- and SMBus-compatible interface. With this data, the target object temperature can be calculated by an external processor. The Infrared thermopile sensor is specified to operate from -40 to +125 [degC]. It is possible to measure an object temperature beyond the device operating range as long as the device itself does not exceed the operating temperature range (-40 to +125 [degC]).
C++ includes: tmp006.hpp

convert_data
(rawv, rawt, tamb, tobj)[source]¶ void convert_data(int16_t rawv, int16_t rawt, float *tamb, float *tobj)
Convert raw sensor values to temperature.
rawv: Object voltage value
rawt: Raw die temperature value
tamb: Converted ambient temperature
tobj: Converted object temperature
-
getTemperature
(bSampleData=0)[source]¶ float getTemperature(int bSampleData=0)
Get the calculated object temperature [degC]
bSampleData: Flag to read sensor
The object temp in degC on success and -273.2 on ‘conversation in progress’
-
resetSensor
()[source]¶ void resetSensor(void)
Performs a soft reset of the TMP006 device to ensure it is in a known state.
