Now the devices, and the sensors within them, are cheap enough for us hackers to play with. The end result is that we now have projects like this ultra compact IR thermometer from [gokux].

Noncontact infrared temperature sensors absorb ambient infrared (IR) radiation emitted by a heated surface. They are used in a variety of applications where direct temperature measurement is not ...

Perhaps you don’t need a camera, but having a way to communicate with an $11 IR temperature sensor might come in handy someday. You do have to mash the measurement button down, so [CCrome] used ...

Temperature monitoring is a crucial aspect of various industries, from manufacturing and pharmaceuticals to food safety and ...
