# Melexis MLX90614 Sensor [](/LICENSE) [](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com) [](https://platformio.org/) [](https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/k0i05/esp_mlx90614) [](https://components.espressif.com/components/k0i05/esp_mlx90614) This ESP32 espressif IoT development framework (esp-idf) i2c peripheral driver was developed for the Melexis MLX90614 single and dual-zone infrared thermometer sensor. Information on features and functionality are documented and can be found in the `mlx90614.h` header file and in the `documentation` folder. ## Repository The component is hosted on github and is located here: <https://github.com/K0I05/ESP32-S3_ESP-IDF_COMPONENTS/tree/main/components/peripherals/i2c/esp_mlx90614> ## General Usage To get started, simply copy the component to your project's `components` folder and reference the `mlx90614.h` header file as an include. The component includes documentation for the peripheral such as the datasheet, application notes, and/or user manual where applicable. ```text components └── esp_mlx90614 ├── CMakeLists.txt ├── README.md ├── LICENSE ├── idf_component.yml ├── library.json ├── documentation │ └── datasheets, etc. ├── include │ └── mlx90614_version.h │ └── mlx90614.h └── mlx90614.c ``` ## Basic Example Once a driver instance is instantiated the sensor is ready for usage as shown in the below example. This basic implementation of the driver utilizes default configuration settings and makes a measurement request from the sensor at user defined interval and prints the results. ```c #include <mlx90614.h> void i2c0_mlx90614_task( void *pvParameters ) { // initialize the xLastWakeTime variable with the current time. TickType_t last_wake_time = xTaskGetTickCount (); // // initialize i2c device configuration mlx90614_config_t dev_cfg = I2C_MLX90614_CONFIG_DEFAULT; mlx90614_handle_t dev_hdl; // // init device mlx90614_init(i2c0_bus_hdl, &dev_cfg, &dev_hdl); if (dev_hdl == NULL) { ESP_LOGE(APP_TAG, "mlx90614 handle init failed"); assert(dev_hdl); } // task loop entry point for ( ;; ) { ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "######################## MLX90614 - START #########################"); // // handle sensor float temperature, obj1_temperature, obj2_temperature; esp_err_t result = mlx90614_get_temperatures(dev_hdl, &temperature, &obj1_temperature, &obj2_temperature); if(result != ESP_OK) { ESP_LOGE(APP_TAG, "mlx90614 device read failed (%s)", esp_err_to_name(result)); } else { ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "air temperature: %.2f C", temperature); ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "object 1 temperature: %.2f C", obj1_temperature); ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "object 2 temperature: %.2f C", obj2_temperature); } // ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "######################## MLX90614 - END ###########################"); // // // pause the task per defined wait period vTaskDelaySecUntil( &last_wake_time, I2C0_TASK_SAMPLING_RATE ); } // // free resources mlx90614_delete( dev_hdl ); vTaskDelete( NULL ); } ``` Copyright (c) 2024 Eric Gionet (<gionet.c.eric@gmail.com>)
