Re: TMP006
From the error message it looks like you don't have the Adafruit_tmp006 library installed correctly or at all.

Re: TMP006 IR Temperature Project
Got the sketch loaded and it works great
Ok so lets say the IR sensor was pointed at an object, would the sensors performance be affected by hot or cold air passing between the object and sensor ?

Re: TMP006
Probably not as much as you would think. Someone said they could tell if the sky was clear or cloudy by taking an IR reading of the open sky so I tried it. If the sky is cloudy the temperature will be somewhere over 20F and if it is clear the temp was -11F.Ok so lets say the IR sensor was pointed at an object, would the sensors performance be affected by hot or cold air passing between the object and sensor ?

Re: TMP006
How challenging would it be to have a display read out like the serial monitor ?
What hardware would be needed and would it work, I realize this is just a thermometer but it could be applied to other devices ?

Re: TMP006
Any of the LCD displays should work. If you get one with a backpack you won't need other hardware except wire.

Re: TMP006
Looks like I will have to get one and give it a whirl before asking for help

Re: TMP006

Way too much to understand from the tutorials
