Basically, I'm thinking of having the thermopile inside an in-ear earphone-style earbud (yes, I like to use the word ear a lot... ear ; ) ) and wearing it like I would wear my earphones, expect I only really need it in one ear. I'm not too worried about the housing.
Cool, thanks!
Great!
Hmm, I actually want to save the temperature readings to read them on my computer, so there's no need for a screen really. I'm trying to store and retrieve the temperature readings so that I can analyze them on my computer (about 24 - 48 hours worth, read about once every second, so about 172800 readings, assuming a 2-byte integer, would yield about 337.5 kilobytes of data to store).
