Compare Wrist, Forehead & Underarm Temperatures with Arduino Nano MLX90614 Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

This kit lets you build a handheld temperature scanner that reads wrist, forehead, and underarm skin temperatures using the precise MLX90614 infrared sensor, then shows a side-by-side comparison on a crisp OLED display. Perfect for understanding how skin temperature varies across the body and spotting potential fever patterns.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a portable gadget that, with the press of a tactile button, cycles through three zone readings - wrist, forehead, underarm - and instantly compares the values on the OLED. The system highlights differences, helping you identify unusual temperature spikes at a glance.

What You'll Learn

• Interface the MLX90614 IR sensor via I2C communication with Arduino Nano
• Write code to read and map sensor data to temperature in Celsius
• Drive a 0.96-inch OLED display to show text and numeric values
• Use push buttons to switch between measurement zones and trigger comparisons
