    Hossein,

    I am going to move the thread to the Sensors area of the forums since this is not specially related to the BASIC Stamp 2 module. This is the place where people post various controllers using our sensors; so this will be the best place to get your coding question answered by our members.

    There are 2 possiblities

    1. You are using the parallax sensor module http://www.parallax.com/StoreSearchResults/tabid/768/txtSearch/mlx90614/List/0/SortField/4/ProductID/520/Default.aspx, in which case the module translates from i2c to serial.

    2. You are using the sensor directly, then the problem is that the sensor is an smbus sensor not i2c. They are similar but have different timing requirements and you need to make sure your CPU meets the smbus requirements.
