Reliable and fast shipping
Arrived earlier than expected. Tested against a calibrated thermometer and the variance was negligible. Highly recommend for any DIY thermal project.

Great value, minor wiring confusion
The sensor itself is fantastic and reads temperatures quickly. The documentation could be slightly clearer on pinout for beginners, but the code examples helped clarify things.

Code library is a lifesaver
Having the pre-written STM32 library meant I could get readings within minutes of unboxing. Stable readings and very responsive customer support when I had a question.

Perfect for non-contact projects
This module works exactly as described. The inclusion of the STM32 source code saved me hours of debugging. Accuracy is impressive for the price point.

Excellent for robotics applications
I used this for a thermal mapping robot. The 90-degree FOV is wide enough for general detection, and the I2C interface makes integration with other sensors seamless.

Good for educational kits
We bought several for our university lab. They are robust and handle student handling well. The accuracy is sufficient for undergraduate experiments.
Q: Is the source code commented for easy modification?
A: Yes, the included C source code for STM32 is heavily commented to explain register configurations and data parsing logic.
Q: Does this module work with Arduino boards as well?
A: Yes, while it comes with STM32 code, the MLX90614 sensor uses standard I2C protocol and is fully compatible with Arduino using available libraries.
Q: Can this measure body temperature accurately?
A: It can measure surface temperature, but it is not calibrated specifically for medical human body temperature use and should not be used for diagnostic purposes.
Q: Does the package include a USB cable for the STM32 board?
A: The standard package includes the module and board, but a Mini-USB cable is usually required separately to program the STM32 chip unless otherwise specified in the variant selected.
Q: What is the maximum distance for accurate measurement?
A: Accuracy depends on the target size relative to the Field of View. For best results, the target should fill the 90-degree cone; typically effective from 2cm to 30cm depending on object size.
