Infrared thermopile sensor TMP006 breakout free PCB build
Juan posted a video of his free infrared thermopile sensor TMP006 breakout board build. These board breakout the TMP006 non contact temperature sensor that comes in a hard-to solder BGA package.
If you build a free PCB we’ll send you another one! Blog about it, post a picture on Flicker, whatever – we’ll send you a coupon code for the free PCB drawer.

This is awesome. I was just looking for a really small non-contact temperature sensor for a veterinary application. I am thinking I will need to mount this little bugger on a flex. Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced flex house… don’t really need fine lines or microvias.
Thanks again.

Anyone know where to purchase a brekout for TMP006 ?
thanks in advance.
We should have one within a month or two.
Is there any updates on the availability of these TMP006 breakout boards?
I backed off of this because I wasn’t sure how useful it is without the proper lens system. Are you interested in a bare breakout board?
Yeah, I for one would really like the opportunity to get some break out boards as otherwise it’s pretty much impossible for ordinary people to utilise the TMP006.
Having said that I never really considered the lack of lens/optics… I assumed it would work ‘reasonably’ well without one for closeup objects – the original scenarios was for the TMP006 to only be 0.5-1cm away from the object being measured but not actually able to be physically connected to a regular temp sensor.
Considering the low rate of success of soldering (I understand 2/5 boards) I for one would be interested in trying my luck with a few bare boards if thats possible..
Does anyone have some code to convert V-Object into temperature ?
I dont need it to be fanomanaly accurate,
but I have searched 30 or more websights, and no V-Object conversion code.
BTW I have managed to read out DIE remperature,
and serial number.
Cheers.
I’m interested in buying the bare breakout board for TMP006 if it’s still available. Is it ?
i have a module TMP006_breakout_v1
During the soldering process I’m afraid it fails
I have to check how?
I only have a multimeter watch!
help me
