Today we announce the winners of the TMP103 and TMP006 evaluation kits. There were lots of great suggestions, thanks for your submissions. Congratulations to Benny Boy, his idea for the TMP006: Beekeepers can use infrared thermometers to locate (roughly, see www.beesource.com/forums) where a colony in a wall has built. Would be nice to hook the […]

TMP103 I2C temperature sensor test
TI’s TMP103 is a temperature sensor with 1 degree accuracy from -10 to +100 degrees Celsius. The two-wire I2C interface has some special sauce so you can address them all at once, instead of repeating commands to each. Today we’ll take a quick look at the evaluation module for this chip. You can win this […]
TMP006 infrared temperature sensor test
Today we did a quick test of the TMP006 infrared non-contact temperature sensor with an I2C interface. Point it at something and it measures the temperature. We were expecting a simple breakout board we could test with the Bus Pirate, but got full USB-enabled evaluation kits. To use the Bus Pirate with this board check […]
GIVEAWAY: TMP103 and TMP006 evaluation modules
Texas Instruments‘ PR boffins sent us TMP103 (I2C 12bit temperature sensor) and TMP006 (I2C infrared temperature sensor) evaluation modules to give away. We accepted these samples to followup on two Bus Pirate demos: Anthony’s demo of the TMP102 temperature sensor, and Joe’s demo of the TMP006. We expected a chip on a breakout board, instead […]
