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 ...
