Citizen over at the 430h forum has been working on a smart coaster project that blinks and buzzes your drink status: He’s trying to cram the following features into his design. TI TMP006 for contactless temperature sensing. Self powered design. TI BQ25504 for energy harvesting via tiny solar cells. A tiny buzzer for audible notifications A […]

Interfacing the TMP006 IR temperature sensor with the Bus Pirate
Joe wrote an article on using the Bus Pirate to interface with the TI TMP006 non-contact temperature sensor covered earlier. This article explains how to interface the Texas Instruments TMP006 non-contact IR temperature sensor evaluation module (TMP006EVM) to a Linux computer using the Bus Pirate from Dangerous Prototypes. A small Java program has been written […]
TMP006 IR temperature sensor pictures and tests
Joe posted pictures of the single-chip digital IR temperature sensor covered earlier. jbeal has measurement tables and first impressions in the forum: I got the eval kit for the TI TMP006 sensor mentioned here last week. It does seem to be able to detect the presence of my hand (apparently about 37 C), when I […]
Single-chip digital IR temperature sensor
Joe writes: TI have announced a tiny (1.6mm sq), low power and low cost (~$2) IR temperature sensor Enables contactless temperature measurement in portable and consumer electronic applications Developed through TI’s expertise in MEMS technology, the TMP006 is the first of a new class of ultra-small, low power, and low cost passive infrared temperature sensors.
