Maker Builds Raspberry Pi-Powered Temperature Gun Using a Pico 2
This project is so cool... it's hot. The creator, Arnov Sharma, used a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 microcontroller to power an open-source, DIY temperature gun that can monitor temperatures without physical contact. The device utilizes the GY-906 infrared temperature sensor and an OLED display to provide real-time temperature data in Celsius. A detailed, open-sourced code is available for anyone to explore or download.
- This innovative project showcases the versatility of Raspberry Pi components in building custom, interactive devices that can be shared with the maker community, potentially leading to a new wave of DIY innovation.
- What limitations, if any, might exist in terms of accuracy or precision when using a microcontroller-based system like this for temperature measurement, and how would those impact real-world applications?
