Chapter 12: COVID-19 Digital Body Temperature Measurement (Thermometer)
This chapter describes an interesting project where you will develop a touchless thermometer to measure human body temperature. This digital thermometer could be useful for supporting the diagnosis of people with COVID-19. The electronics project explained in this chapter involves the use of a very capable infrared (IR) temperature sensor that will check the body temperature. Additionally, you will learn and practice how to connect an IR temperature sensor to a microcontroller board using the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) data transmission protocol.
Important note
The body temperature measurement project described in this chapter should not be used as a definitive and accurate way to determine whether a person has COVID-19 or not. It is for demonstration and learning purposes only.
In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:
- Programming the I2C interface
- Connecting an IR temperature...
