Build Simple digital clock using Arduino DS3231
Build digital clock using HT16K33 with DS3231 with Arduino
This code is to connect three or more MLX90614 to Arduino.
The sensor is explained, datasheet is reviewed, wiring and code shown and demonstrated by measuring surface temperature, then using heat gun temperature is measured then temperature of a heater is measured. Arduino code is provided. See link below.
If you need to connect only MLX90614 to the same Arduino, See the code here
This code has not been tested. Study it fully and you will understand how it works and you can find the issue and fix it.
Libraries needed for this project
1-DS3231 RTClib library (and watch video instruction)2-HT16K33 Library (and watch video instruction) Both libraries are available for download from links below.
