DESCRIPTION
The SparkFun Grid-EYE Infrared Array Breakout board is an 8×8 thermopile array, meaning you have a square array of 64 pixels capable of independent temperature detection. It’s like having a thermal camera, just in a lower resolution. To make it even easier to get your low-resolution infrared image, all communication is enacted exclusively via I2C, utilising the handy Qwiic system. However, there is still broken-out 0.1″ spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.
The onboard AMG8833 Grid-EYE possesses an accuracy rate of ±2.5C (±4.5F) with a temperature range of 0C to 80C (32F to 176F). Additionally, this IR camera board can detect human body heat at about 7 meters or less (that’s about 23 feet), and has a frame rate of 10 frames a second to one frame a second. It is important to point out that while this version of the Grid-EYE is the high performance type with a high gain, it is only 3.3V tolerant. IE: Don’t try to operate it at 5V (you won’t have a very good time).
