Library Description

Key functions:

• float irthrm5v_getTambient() - Returns ambient temperature value in Celsius.
• float irthrm5v_getTobject() - Returns object temperature value in Celsius.

Examples Description

The application is composed of three sections:

• System Initialization - Initialization of the I2C and UART modules.
• Application Initialization - Initialization of the IrThermo 5V Driver
• Application Task - Reading Ambient Temperature and displaying the value periodically.

void applicationTask()
{

 measuredTemperature = irthrm5V_getTambient();
 FloatToStr(measuredTemperature,text);
 mikrobus_logWrite("Ambient Temperature: ",_LOG_TEXT);
 mikrobus_logWrite(text,_LOG_LINE);
 Delay_ms(1000);
}

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• I2C
• UART
• Conversions

Additional notes and information

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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
