IR Grid 4 Click is a compact add-on board for high-precision, non-contact temperature measurement and thermal imaging. This board is based on the MLX90641, a fully calibrated thermal IR array from Melexis. It captures temperature data across a 16x12 matrix (192 pixels) and accurately measures temperatures from -40°C to +300°C with a typical accuracy of 1°C. The board supports the innovative 'Click Snap' feature, allowing the sensor area to be detached for flexible positioning.
We provide a library for the IR Grid 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 Grid 4 Click driver.
irgrid4_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. irgrid4_init
Initialization function. irgrid4_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function. irgrid4_get_measurement
This function reads the RAM frame data and calculates ambient temperature and a 16x12 IR grid object temperature. irgrid4_set_refresh_rate
This function sets the IR data refresh rate. irgrid4_enable_led1
This function enables the LED1. This example demonstrates the use of IR Grid 4 Click by reading and displaying
the ambient and object temperature measurements in a 16x12 pixels grid format.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.
Reads the ambient and object temperature measurements every 500ms and displays the results on the USB UART in a form of a 16x12 pixels grid.
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.
