IOT Smart Infrared Thermometer (COVID-19)

Due to the COVID uprising of 2019, we decided to make an IOT Smart Infrared Thermometer that connects to smart devices to show the recorded temperature, this is not only a cheaper alternative, but also a great teaching module for tech and IOT that we use in collaboration with schools, government institutes, and in our own workshops!

Wires

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Plans for the outer casing is provided in PDF format above, the design is made for 3 mm thick boards.

Step 2: Assemble and Solder the Hardware

Since infrared thermometers are meant to be handheld, we have to keep it small and compact, thus making the wiring and solder paths more complex, if you are unable to understand the pictures, please follow the video tutorial here.
