Using a Chip: MLX90614
Power supply: 3-5v (internal low dropout regulator)
Communication: standard IIC communication protocol
Up for sale is a MELEXIS MLX90614ESF-BAA-000-TU-ND non-contact infrared thermometer for use with Arduino, or any microcontroller that can communicate with it through it's I2C interface. This sensor comes with a breakout board with all of the components needed for operation and two types of pins. They are unsoldered. Please indicate if you would like one or the other soldered. There are two solder jumpers for the I2C interface that may or may not need to be soldered depending on your application, but will not for most uses.
