Add affordable heat vision to your project with the Adafruit MLX90640 Thermal Camera Breakout. This sensor features a 24x32 array of IR thermal sensors, delivering 768 individual infrared temperature readings over I2C. Compact like a thermal camera, it’s easy to integrate and perfect for various projects.
Specifications:
- Field of View: 110°x70° (wide) or 55°x35° (narrow)
- Temperature Range: -40°C to 300°C
- Accuracy: ±2°C (0-100°C range)
- Frame Rate: Maximum 16 Hz
Usages:
- Create human detectors or mini thermal cameras with ease.
- Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi setups.
- Use the SciPy library for enhanced interpolation on Raspberry Pi.
Benefits:
- No soldering required thanks to pre-mounted breakout board with 3.3V regulator and level shifting.
- Plug-and-play with STEMMA QT connectors, compatible with SparkFun qwiic.
- Simple integration through example code and software libraries available for quick startup.
Note: A processor with a minimum of 20KB RAM, such as SAMD21 or SAMD51, is recommended for Arduino compatibility.
