The GY-906 is a compact breakout module built around the MLX90614ESF-BCC infrared temperature sensor, letting you read surface temperature without any physical contact. It measures the heat radiated from an object, so it is a great fit for makers, students, and engineers building Arduino, ESP32/ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, or general automation projects where touching the target is impractical.
Key features
- Based on the genuine MLX90614ESF-BCC infrared sensor chip.
- Non-contact measurement — reads temperature from a distance.
- Digital I2C interface for easy wiring to microcontrollers.
- Small GY-906 breakout board that fits neatly on a breadboard or in tight enclosures.
- Works with popular maker platforms and ready-made libraries.
Typical uses
- DIY infrared thermometers and temperature loggers.
- Smart greenhouse and irrigation monitoring projects.
- Industrial and hobby automation, robotics, and prototyping.
- Educational electronics and sensor-learning kits.
How to choose / tips
- Confirm your board supports I2C and the operating voltage you plan to use.
- Keep the sensor lens clean and unobstructed for accurate readings.
- Use a tested library to speed up your firmware setup.
