MLX90621 Arduino and Processing example code

Arduino and Processing code for the Melexis MLX90621 16x4 thermopile array.

Includes R script to parse data files (which can be exported by Processing visualizer).

The MLX90621 FIRray temperature sensing device from Melexis utilizes the company’s non-contact temperature measurement technology to create a highly cost-effective thermography solution. Covering a -20°C to 300°C temperature range, this 16 x 4 element far infrared (FIR) thermopile sensor array produces a map of heat values for the target area in real time, avoiding the need to scan the area with a single point sensor or use an expensive microbolometer device.

In use in VU and Tilburg University temperature cry detection project.

Implements MaxBot's MLX90621 Arduino library patched with KMoto's minor change in defaultConfig_H.

Also makes use of nox771's i2c_t3 enhanced Teensy 3 Wire library. This library allows a Teensy 3.1 Arduino compatible USB development board to communicate with the MLX90621 over I2C/TWI.

TODO 2015-10-25: Refactor and clean up Processing visualizer.
