Infrared thermometer

I would like to show you a infrared thermometer with MLX90614 sensor, seven segment display HP QDSP-6040 and ATtiny2313 MCU. Sensor allow to measure temperature in following ranges:

1) -40 - 125 °C - in case of measurement of sensor temperature,

2) -70 - 380 °C - in case of measurement of object temperature.

In project is implemented only measurement of object in Celsius degrees.

 

ATtiny2313 MCU communicates with sensor by SMBus. Measured value of temperature is shown on display. Current per single segment of display is configured to 4.67 mA, so display can be easily driven directly from MCU. In first solution as power supply was used ML2020 battery, but it was replaced with 200 mAh battery with TP4056 charger module. Housing was made from epoxy resin.

    Thanks. I didn't calibrate the sensor. I only compared readings to measurements from the thermocouple included to fluke DMM. I have following sensor model: MLX90614ESF-BCC and according to manufacturer…

    The HP QDSP-6040 display is really beautiful. Is there any chance to buy somewhere a similar one (small, easy to read, DIP layout)?

    Cool project! Nicely built. Have fun taking temperature reading.

    You should look for QDSP or HDSP series of displays e.g. on ebay. Here are examples:

    Thanks.
    I didn't calibrate the sensor. I only compared readings to measurements from the thermocouple included to fluke DMM. I have following sensor model: MLX90614ESF-BCC and according to manufacturer documentation it has factory calibration and high accuracy of 0.5 °C in range 0...+50°C.
