Hello hello, Im doing a project where I have to use a MLX90614 thermometer in conjunction with a stamp micro controller. However the product parallax made, https://solarbotics.com/product/35003/
Has unfortunately been discontinued and I cant really get my hands on enough of the models to accomplish what I wish to achieve. Now im using the one made from melexis. http://www.melexis.com/Infrared-Thermometer-Sensors/Infrared-Thermometer-Sensors/MLX90614-615.aspx and it doesnt have the processor in it to easily communicate to the micro controller. Long story short, I talked to tech support and I was in formed that that means that all the sample code and diagrams are effectively useless. I was wondering if anyone had experience with using this model and could help me use it with the basic stamp microcontroller.

There is a ready-to-go object in the Propeller Object Exchange that handles the MLX90614 directly (see here).
