The AMG8833 IR 8 * 8 Thermal Imaging Camera Array Temperature Sensor Module is an 88 array IR thermal sensor. When connected to a microcontroller (or Raspberry Pi), it returns a series of 64 individual infrared temperature measurements via I2C. It's like those gorgeous thermal imaging cameras, but it's compact and simple enough to be easily integrated. The
AMG8833 IR 8 * 8 Thermal Imager Array Temperature Sensor Module measures temperatures in the range 0 ° C to 80 ° C (32 ° F to 176 ° F) with an accuracy of + 2.5 ° C (4.5 ° F). increase.
It can detect humans up to 7 meters (23) feet away. With a maximum frame rate of 10Hz, it's perfect for creating your own person detector or mini infrared camera. I have the code to use this breakout on an Arduino or a compatible one (the sensor communicates over I2C) or a Raspberry Pi running Python. On Pi, with a little help from image processing from the SciPy Python library, I was able to interpolate 88 grids and get pretty good results.
The AMG8833 is the next generation 88 thermal IR sensor, offering higher performance than its predecessor, the AMG8831. The sensor only supports I2C and has configurable interrupt pins that can be triggered when a single pixel exceeds a set threshold.
Selected and placed on a breakout board with a 3.3V regulator and level shift for ease of use. Therefore, it can be used with 3V or 5V microcontrollers or computers.
Features:
- Temperature detection of the two-dimensional area: 8 8 (64 pixels).
- Digital output (capability of temperature value output).
- Compact SMD package (adaptively to reflow mounting).
- RoHS compliant.
- High function home appliances (microwaves and air-conditioners).
- Energy saving at the office (air-conditioning/lighting control).
- Digital signage.
- Automatic doors/elevators.
