This sensor contains a 24x32 array of IR thermal sensors. When connected to your microcontroller (or Raspberry Pi) it will return an array of 768 individual infrared temperature readings over I2C. It's like those fancy thermal cameras, but compact and simple enough for easy integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version has a narrow \u003cstrong\u003e55°x35° field of view\u003c\/strong\u003e we also have a version with a wider \u003cstrong\u003e110°x70° field of view\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part will measure temperatures ranging from \u003cstrong\u003e-40°C to 300°C \u003c\/strong\u003ewith an accuracy of +- 2°C (in the 0-100°C range). With a maximum frame rate of 16 Hz (the theoretical limit is 32Hz but we were not able to practically achieve it), It's perfect for creating your own human detector or mini thermal camera. We have code for using this sensor on an Arduino or compatible (the sensor communicates over I2C) or on a Raspberry Pi with Python. If using an Arduino-compatible, you'll need a processor with at least 20KB RAM - a SAMD21 (M0) or SAMD51 (M4) chipset will do nicely. On the Pi, you can even perform interpolation processing with help from the SciPy python library and get some pretty nice results!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sensor reads the data twice per frame, in a checker-board pattern, so it's normal to see a checker-board dither effect when moving the sensor around - the effect isn't noticeable when things move slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo make it easy to use, we hand-soldered it on a breakout board with a 3.3V regulator and level shifting. So you can use it with any 3V or 5V microcontroller or computer. We've even included SparkFun qwiic compatible\u003cstrong\u003e STEMMA QT\u003c\/strong\u003e connectors for the I2C bus so \u003cstrong\u003eyou don't even need to solder!\u003c\/strong\u003e Just plug-n-play with any of our STEMMA QT (JST SH) cables. QT Cable is not included, but we have a variety in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven better - We've done all the hard work here, with example code and supporting software libraries to get you up in running in just a few lines of Arduino or Python code\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI2C compatible digital interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable refresh rate 0.5Hz…64Hz (0.25 ~ 32 FPS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.3V-5V supply voltage, regulated to 3.3V on breakout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent consumption less than 23mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eField of view: 55°x35°\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature -40°C ÷ 85°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarget temperature -40°C ÷ 300°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 25.7mm x 17.7mm x 16.0mm \/ 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.6\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 3.5g \/ 0.1oz \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51616996360498,"sku":"xqq1787258096300","price":54.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0289\/8482\/files\/adafruit-mlx90640-ir-thermal-camera-breakout-55-degree_1.jpg?v=1787258100","url":"https:\/\/www.mapleborough.shop\/products\/adafruit-mlx90640-ir-thermal-camera-breakout-55-degree","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
