The GridEYE from Panasonic is a 8 by 8 thermopile array. This means you have an array of 64 pixels each capable of detecting temperature remotely. It’s like having thermal camera (or Predator’s vision) just in really low resolution.

SparkFun Qwiic Panasonic Grid-EYE Infrared Array AMG88xx

SparkFun Grid-EYE Infrared Array Breakout - AMG8833 (Qwiic) (SEN-14607)

The GridEYE from Panasonic is a 8 by 8 thermopile array. This means you have an array of 64 pixels each capable of detecting temperature remotely. It’s like having thermal camera (or Predator’s vision) just in really low resolution. The SparkFun Grid-EYE Qwiic carrier board utilizes the high performance, high gain 3.3V AMG88 sensor. Do not hook 5V to this beast! Better yet, use the Qwiic system - it makes it much easier and quicker to get started.

The SparkFun carrier board incorporates all the needed passive components as well as a jumper to change the I2C address and a jumper to remove the pull up resistors if needed.

qwiic_grideye's Issues

Double-check I2C address

I think the correct addresses are 0x69 and 0x68. The silk currently says 0x3B and 0x3A.

Library from SparkX calls 0x69 as default address.

https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_GridEYE_Arduino_Library/blob/master/src/SparkFun_GridEYE_Arduino_Library.h

Datasheet also confirms.

Double Check v01

1. Is the VCC range clearly labeled? [NO]
   comment: Need the actual "VCC Range" text next to the vcc range.

2. Can you make the polarity marker for the Grid Eye be larger?

Thanks!
