    Default IR temp sensor

    Dear all,

    i need your help regarding the following code for the MLX90614 ir temp sensor.

    Finally i have some readings from the sensor at Object1 address $07.

    I do get the right temp value from the first 2 digits (XX) XX.YY

    For the second 2 digits (YY) XX.YY i see that numbers goes up to .49 and then the first two XX digits increase by one. It suppose XX change when the YY goes up to .99

    Could anyone help please?

    Code:

    As a last thought, i would like to add a sign depends on the bit which is responsible to + or -.


    Code:
    IF sign_Bit = signCold THEN Change_Sign ' If Sign_Bit = 1, it's below "0" deg C
    
    '------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
    '                        If it is cold change to "-"                           *
    '------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
    Change_Sign:
    Sign   = "-"                     ' Display - symbol for negative temp
    tempir = temp.highbyte << 8
    tempir = tempir + temp.lowbyte   ' add the temp.lowbyte 
    
    temperature  = tempir/50         ' based on the manual we need to divide by 50 or 0.02
    temperature  = temperature - 273 ' subtract 273 for Degree in C,actually is 273,15
    remainder    = tempir//50       
    return

    Yeah, when you do x= y // 50 it will do a divide by 50 and then give you the remainder which can't be more than 49, right?

    If you first multiply the raw value by 2 it means you can then divide by 100 (instead of 50) and do modulo 100 (that's the // operator) to give you two digits after the decimal point. This won't increase the resolution, you'll still have 50 "steps" to the right of the decimal point but they will range from 0 to 98 instead of from 0 to 49.

    Thanks Henrik,

    i will try it out now.

    In the mean time i was playing with the ERPROM registers in order to assign the sign bit. I will leave that on a side and try your advice.

    Can you display raw register data?
    So you can compare result of your calculation with register value. Maybe sensor have some drift issues.

    Henrik,

    it worked!!!

    i did the following.

    Code:
    remainder = (TEMPIR*2)//100
    It looks like it worked as expeced.

    Now i'm focusing to get the sign bit.

    i can display values depends on the temp...yes.

    like 14971. When i divide that by 50 it give me 299,42.

    Then i seperate the 299 and the 42 as remainder.

    The calculation then is : 299 - 273 in order to get the value in Degree C. The problem is that i do not have the right knowledge to divide that by 273,15. But that is ok for me at the moment.
