Melexis Infrared Sensor MLX90614

User1404 last edited by

Hey guys,

has anyone here experience with the MLX90614 and the related evaluation board EVB90614? I have the problem that I only get 30 values per second spit out with the associated software. But the sensor itself is able to measure a value every ms. Is there any way to get away from the 30 values per second up to the values every ms with the evaluation board?

Thank you

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

I am new in this forum and I have a question regarding mysensors and iobroker. I did not work with mysensors up to now. Since some weeks I use iobroker installed on a raspberrypi. Now I want to integrate my 433 Mhz doorbell in iobroker. I know, that there is an adapter for mysensors in iobroker. My question is: Is it possible to get a notification in iobroker if someone is pressing the button on my doorbell? As I understood, I have to connect the receiver to an arduino nano and connect the arduino to my rasberrypi on which iobroker is running.

Just wanted to say thanks for this, it is still relevant and useful six years later !
Which one should i choose? PIR or microwave sensor

Supposedly PIR doesn't work through glass (e.g. if looking for motion through a window), whereas I presume a microwave sensor might still work.

I have success! (oops, that's suppose to be Timer1) I only sample for 1/60 of a second. What I did was to back up all the timer registered I used and then resorted them after I was done sampling. (As opposed to initializing the registers in setup and then starting the timer when needed.) Now I have a Nano sampling the data and sending it to a MySensors Gateway on an RPi3B+ which then sends it to an MQTT broker runing on an old laptop. Also running on the laptop is Home Assistant running inside of VirtualBox. If MySensors does use Timer1, it appears that restoring the registers allows it to be shared. //------------------------------------------------------ISR ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect){ // interrupt service routine for overflow TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // must be first line! starts the timer counting again digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,HIGH); samplesVolts[--sample]=analogRead(VOLTS_IN_PIN); // decrement before capturing samplesCurrent[sample]=analogRead(CURRENT_IN_PIN); digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,LOW); if (!sample){ // count down to zero digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,LOW); // indicate that sampling is complete samplingEnd = micros(); TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer } } //------------------------------------------------------sampleOneCycle void sampleOneCycle(){ // back up timer registers uint8_t TCNT1_b = TCNT1; uint8_t TCCR1B_b = TCCR1B; uint8_t TCCR1A_b = TCCR1A; uint8_t TIMSK1_b = TIMSK1; // configure timer which starts the sampling noInterrupts(); // disable all interrupts TCCR1A = 0; TCCR1B = 0; TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // preload timer //TCCR1B |= (1 << CS10)|(1 << CS12); // 1024 prescaler TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer? TIMSK1 |= (1 << TOIE1); // enable timer overflow interrupt ISR // demark sampling sample = NUMBER_OF_SAMPLES; // count down to zero digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,HIGH); samplingStart = micros(); TCNT1 = 65535; // first trigger right away! TCCR1B |= 1; // turns on timer interrupts(); // enable all interrupts // wait for sampling to be complete while(digitalRead(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN)){}; samplingEnd = micros(); // restore timer registers TCNT1 = TCNT1_b; TCCR1B = TCCR1B_b; TCCR1A = TCCR1A_b; TIMSK1 = TIMSK1_b; }

I bought the Every because it implied it was backward compatible with the nano. No, it's not, as we found out. Be that as it may, any word on a getting the Every working with mySensors?
