Description

Breakout board based on the Panasonic AMG8833 sensor. It captures and creates an image of a body or an object using the infrared radiation it emits. Used with Raspberry Pi, Arduino or any other microcontroller, it is able to detect the heat of an object or a human body at a max. distance of 7 metres. It can measure temperatures from 0°C to +80°C (32°F to 176°F) with an accuracy of about 2.5°C (4.5°F), has a detection angle of 60 degrees, a max. frame rate of 10 Hz, and a configurable interrupt pin that can be triggered when a single pixel goes above or below the set threshold.
