Wiring the TMP006 to a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black is easy because the board only uses an I2C bus for communication.

Raspberry Pi

Connect the TMP006 to a Raspberry Pi as follows.  Note that you must have I2C enabled on your Raspberry Pi.

  • Connect Pi 3.3V power to TMP006 VCC.
  • Connect Pi GND to TMP006 GND.
  • Connect Pi SDA to TMP006 SDA.
  • Connect Pi SCL to TMP006 SCL.

BeagleBone Black

Connect the TMP006 to a BeagleBone Black as follows.  If you aren't familiar with how GPIO pins are numbered, check out this guide on BeagleBone Black GPIO.
