Please have a look at this very interesting remote thermal sensor:
http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/Omron PDFs/D6T44L_8L_Appl_Note.pdf
It transmits data via a straightforward I2C protocol.
The only problem I see, from a Picaxe point of view, is that the data packet consists of 17 words (16 individual thermopile values plus a temp reference value) which would exhaust most, if not all available Picaxe variables.
What could be done here?
Note...this is only a what if scenario. Technical curiosity. A mind bender. I'm not buying a sensor yet, its almost US$50 price is a little too rich for me.
