Overview
The Melexis MLX90614 is a digital infrared radiation sensor. It is used to measure the surface temperature when flying at low altitudes. It measures both the sensor temperature and the object (sensor) temperature.
module: ir_mlx
Hardware
The board does have a 3.3V I2C interface.
Supplier:
Usage
To use the infrared radiation sensor:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<modules>
<load name="ir_mlx.xml"/>
</modules>
|
One-time-configuration
(tbd)
The I2C address is stored in internal flash memory and is usually randomly set. To set it to a useful value put the below setting only once while setting it up:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<load name="ir_mlx.xml">
<define name="IR_MLX_ONE_TIME CONFIG" value="1"/>
</load>
|
NOTES
If flying at higher altitudes the infrared radiation from the in-between water vapor is also measured.
