Using Melexis MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer with Arduino LCD1602

In this tutorial you will learn how to display temperature in C, F and K on LCD1602 with I2C module. There is separate code for LCD2004.

Chapters of this video

This video requires the following two Tutorils

1-Introduciton to MLX906142
2-Introduction to LCD1602-I2C

Resources for this sketch


 /*************************************************** 
  This is a library example for the MLX90614 Temp Sensor
Original Library and code source: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-MLX90614-Library

 this code has been mostly updated
 it displays the temperature on LCD1602 or LCD2004 in C, F and K for object and for ambient
