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.
- Connect BeagleBone Black P9_1 DGND to TMP006 GND.
- Connect BeagleBone Black P9_3 3.3V power to TMP006 VCC.
- Connect BeagleBone Black P9_19 SCL to TMP006 SCL.
- Connect BeagleBone Black P9_20 SDA to TMP006 SDA.
