class
adafruit_mlx90614.MLX90614(i2c_bus, address=90)¶ Create an instance of the MLX90614 temperature sensor. You must pass in the following parameters: - i2c: An instance of the I2C bus connected to the sensor. - frequency=100000 - this sensor does not respond to the default 400000 i2c bus speed
Optionally you can specify: - address: The I2C address of the sensor. If not specified the sensor’s default value will be assumed.
-
ambient_temperature¶ Ambient Temperature in celsius.
-
object_temperature¶ Object Temperature in celsius.
