The version v0.2.0 for contactless thermometer will implement calibration mode logic to adjust the thermal sensor readings with the help of a calibrated thermometer plugin. This mode can be activated by a calibration button on the device.
The calibration process is a manufacturing step after the equipment is assembled.
A calibration process involves:
PART 1:
- Set emissivity index for ice-bath at 0.96.
- Gathering the calibration sensor's (CS) and thermal sensor's (TS) temperature readings taken on an ice bath.
- Adjusting the TS (by adjusting hardware components) to receive a reading within an acceptable range of error from the CS' temperature reading.
- Storing these temperature values (CS and TS) in RAM.
PART 2:
- Set emissivity index for ice-bath at 0.98.
- Gathering the CS' and TS' temperature readings on human skin temperature.
- Adjusting the TS to receive a reading within an acceptable range of error from the CS' temperature reading.
- Storing these temperature values (CS and TS) in RAM.
PART 3:
- Applying a straight-line equation to calibrate the device.
- Exit calibration mode
Note:
- We need further information on how the straight-line equation will be applied.
- Reset emissivity index to 0.98 for human skin.
