IR Thermo 4 Click is a compact add-on board for precise remote sensing applications. This board features the TPiS 1T 1386 L5.5 H thermopile sensor from Excelitas, known for its high accuracy and narrow 5° field of view (FoV). This sensor, part of the CaliPile™ family, features factory-calibrated data stored in EEPROM, ensuring reliable and accurate performance. The sensor also comes in an isothermal TO-39 package with an integrated lens hood for minimized stray light and enhanced thermal stability, making it ideal for challenging environmental conditions. With a built-in ADC and multiple filter options, the sensor's data is easily accessible via an I2C interface. IR Thermo 4 Click is well-suited for remote skin temperature monitoring, over-temperature protection, human presence sensing, and motion detection.
We provide a library for the IR Thermo 4 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for IR Thermo 4 Click driver.
irthermo4_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. irthermo4_init
Initialization function. irthermo4_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function. irthermo4_read_ambient_temp
This function reads and calculates the ambient temperature in degrees Celsius. irthermo4_read_object_temp
This function reads and calculates the object temperature in degrees Celsius. irthermo4_get_int_pin
This function returns the INT pin logic state. This example demonstrates the use of IR Thermo 4 Click board by reading and displaying the ambient and object temperature measurements.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.
Reads the ambient and object temperature measurements twice per second and displays the results on the USB UART.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
