im currently using an lcd backpack for my lcd running through I2c with the wire.h library. im trying to integrate a IR temp. sensor, but it wont work apparently with the wire.h library. is there any way to integrate the two? or should i just pick a different temp sensor.
the IR sensor from SF
Infrared Thermometer - MLX90614 - SEN-09570 - SparkFun Electronics?

Your code? "But it won't work" doesn't tell us anything. What happens? How do you know it (whatever it is) doesn't work.
im currently using the MLX90614.ino to test the thermoster and get it working properly which uses a4 and a5 for clk and sda. But with my other sketch, i dont think i can just simply include the i2cmaster.h file and the wire.h, because both are using the clk and sda lines to communicate with the lcd and the thermoster. In the bildr blog that i linked, people couldnt get the thermoster to work with the wire.h library. so the author messed with a i2cmaster.h library to get the thermoster working correctly.
From the Blog on Bildr.
"The standard wire library wasn't working for people, so we will be using the i2cmaster library instead. To complicate things even more, the i2cmaster wont run on the Arduino out of the box, some files need to be renamed and changed, and an extra txt file is needed to get it working. But… because it is open-sourced I can make those changes, and redistribute it."
sorry about the late reply.
