Anyone has the hookup for a MLX90614 SPARKFUN EVALUATION BOARD in SPI mode?
It’s TTL serial only.
So I must set a micro oled breakout display in I2C mode before i can make the MLX90614 evaluation board’s reading show on the display? If so, may I have the hookup guide for this connection ?
The evaluation board is essentially an Arduino Pro Mini with a MLX90614 sensor stuck on it. It comes with some basic demo software that spits reading out on the serial port but there isn’t anything in the firmware for driving an external display.
If you wanted to connect an external display it would need to be over I2C (the pins are broken out on the board) and you’d need to write your own firmware as the firmware that comes pre-loaded doesn’t know how to drive a display. It doesn’t look like there is any guide for this, you might read the guides for both the bare MLX90614 sensor and OLED display.
Yes I’ve been trying to read both the individual guides for MLX90614 evaluation board and OLED display but I am still stuck on the connection + code. Can I check if anyone happens to have the SPI Code for MLX90614 Evaluation board?
So my Micro oled breakout works in SPI mode individually and MLX90614 evaluation board works in I2c Mode individually. I have also managed to combine the two together using breadboard and an arduino to get the temperature recorded by mlx90614 board to be displayed on the micro oled display. However, I would like to eradicate the arduino and do soldering, hence I only want to connect the MLX90614 board with the Micro oled breakout display. Is it possible?
