  • Forum Post: TMP006EVM / SM-USB-DIG USB protocol documentation for Linux driver?

    Joe Desbonnet
    I'm writing a Linux driver for the TMP006EVM. I understand the USB interface is a general purpose SM-USB-DIG device used in other evaluation modules also. I notice there is good documentation on the *hardware* of the SM-USB-DIG, but I can't find any documentation on USB protocol it uses. Using...

  • Forum Post: Linux interface to the TMP006EVM -- a solution

    Joe Desbonnet
    In case anyone needs to interface directly to the TMP006EVM module without using the supplied SM-USB-DIG, I've got a solution that just requires a $30 serial protocol debugger tool called the 'Bus Pirate'. (See http://www.dangerousprototypes.com I'm not affiliated with Dangerous Prototypes...

  • Forum Post: Multiple TMP006EVMs on One Computer

    Brent Gordon
    Is it possible to use multiple TMP006EVMs on one computer simultaneously? I need to do simultaneous non-contact temperature measurements. I've already changed the address on one of my TMP006 sensor boards, but the evaluation software only recognizes whichever EVM was last plugged in.

    Brent Gordon
    Hello Ian, Thanks for the response. I thought daisy-chaining the sensors might be the solution. I did try changing the address in the software with two SM-USB-DIGs connected, but it did not work. Only the most recently connected SM-USB-DIG was recognized. I looked through the data sheet on the...

  • Forum Post: Re: TMP 006 Noise Reduction Modes

    Ian Williams
    Hello Alex, I'll first answer your three questions and then offer some other recommendations. 1) On the evaluation kit, how is the filtering done? I assume that the TMP 006 simply takes multiple readings, and the software then does an average. Actually, the averaging is performed inside...

  • Forum Post: Re: TMP006EVM Accuracy

    Ian Williams
    Hello Jon, Shifts of 20°F are not normal behavior once the TMP006 has stabilized. Was the TMP006 experiencing any local transients (movement, airflow, temperature) when you observed these shifts? Was anything touching the part? Since the TMP006 die is exposed it's possible that the device...

    Hello David, The data sheet resolution of the TMP006 IR sensor is 156.25nV, while the typical relationship between sensor voltage and object temperature is 7μV/°C. Calculating this out gives a typical object temperature resolution of approximately 0.0223°C. This is an ideal value, and I've...

  • Forum Post: Re: tmp006 suitability

    Ian Williams
    Hello Jim, The TMP006 itself should function without issue in a noisy environment as long as our recommended layout is used. The real concern is that the power supply's switching noise can couple into the digital communications lines and cause difficulties when reading from/writing to the device...

  • Forum Post: TMP006 emissivity correction

    Ian Patterson
    I have just received a TMP006EVM and am quite impressed. The TMP006 User guides treat the subjects of local temperature and transient effects well and the ability to take different averages in the supplied software is very useful. However, one important parameter appears to be completely ignored. This...

    Hello, A correction to my previous post on emissivity. Emissivity is treated in the User guide SBOU007 with several typical values given for different materials. It is also recommended that the object being should have an emissivity >0.7 and preferably >0.9. It is not always possible to arrange...

    Ian Patterson
    Hello Colin, I agree that the calibration procedure takes into account the object(s) emissivity. If I were designing a control/measurement system I would certainly use at least a two point calibration and would try for more points.

    Ian Patterson
    Hello, I haven't seen this discussed in the forum. My question is: can I run the TMP006 V+ at 3.3VDC but use pull-up resistors (say, 47k) to 5VDC for SDA and SCL? A related Question is Can I do the same for ADR0 and ADR1? I assume that the reason that TI seems to prefer 3.3VDC for V+ is to minimize...

    I have a customer who just opened a new TMP006EVM and is having difficulty getting the sensor to ACK. The bottom of the GUI says "TMP06 did not ack". He verified that power is applied per a different thread on this Forum but there is still no ACK. Attched is a screen shot. What...

    Ian Williams
    Hi Naji, First off, the customer is running an outdated version of the TMP006EVM software. I recommend that he download and install the new version at: http://www.ti.com/litv/zip/sboc408a Aside from that, it could be that the TMP006EVM is improperly connected to the SM-USB-DIG. Make sure that the...

    Hello Pragati, Sorry for the unclear statement. I did not mean to imply that the glass would cause these fluctuations in the reading that you are seeing; my point is that it will be difficult for you to measure the solar panel behind the glass using an IR sensor. With both the handheld gun IR sensor...

    Yes I did. He told me he stuck to the i2c approach.Is there any protocol documentation for how the TMP006 driver is written as I am not able to figure out much using SnoopyPro.

    Sabarish Sridhar
    Okay. I guess I will simply remove the USB-DIG interface and use i2c as suggested by Joe Desbonnet. Thanks for the help anyway.
