# MicroPython MLX90614
A MicroPython library for interfacing with a Melexis MLX90614 IR temperature sensor.
For example, the [GY-906 module](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/GY-906-MLX90614ESF-New-MLX90614-Contactless-Temperature-Sensor-Module-For-Arduino-Compatible/32474869821.html).
## Examples
Copy the file to your device, using ampy, webrepl or compiling and deploying. eg.
```bash
$ ampy put mlx90614.py
```
**Basic measurement**
```python
import mlx90614
from machine import I2C, Pin
i2c = I2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4))
sensor = mlx90614.MLX90614(i2c)
print(sensor.read_ambient_temp())
print(sensor.read_object_temp())
if sensor.dual_zone:
print(sensor.object2_temp)
```
**Continuous measurement**
```python
import time
import mlx90614
from machine import I2C, Pin
i2c = I2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4))
sensor = mlx90614.MLX90614(i2c)
while True:
print(sensor.read_ambient_temp(), sensor.read_object_temp())
time.sleep_ms(500)
```
