Introduction
AMG8833-IR 8*8 Thermal-Imager Array Temperature Sensor Module is an 8×8 array of IR-thermal sensors. while connected to your microcontroller (or Raspberry Pi) it will return an array of 64 individual infrared temperature readings over I2C. It’s like those fancy thermal cameras, but compact and easy enough for clean integration. AMG8833 IR 8*8 Thermal Imager Array Temperature Sensor Module is to be had now in Pakistan. AMG8833 IR 8*8 Thermal Imager Array Temperature Sensor Module will measure the temperatures ranging from zero°C to 80°C (32°F to 176°F) with an accuracy of +- 2.5°C (four.five°F). it may detect a human from a distance of as much as 7 meters (23) toes.
With a maximum body fee of 10Hz, It’s ideal for growing your own human detector or mini thermal camera. we’ve got code for the use of this breakout on an Arduino or compatible (the sensor communicates over I2C) or on a Raspberry Pi with Python. at the Pi, with a bit of image processing help from the SciPy python library, we had been able to interpolate the eight×eight grid and get a few pretty nice results. The AMG8833 is the next era of 8×eight thermal IR sensors and offers better overall performance than its predecessor the AMG8831. The sensor handiest helps I2C and has a configurable interrupt pin which could fireplace when any individual pixel goes above or beneath thresholds that you set.

Pin Descriptions of AMG8833 IR Thermal Imager Module
| Vin | this is the power pin. Since the sensor uses 3.3V, we have included an onboard voltage regulator that will take 3-5VDC and safely convert it down. |
| 3Vo | this is the 3.3V output from the voltage regulator, you can grab up to 100mA from this if you like |
| GND | common ground for power and logic |
| SCL | this is the I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. There is a 10K pull-up on this pin and it is level shifted so you can use 3 – 5VDC. |
| SDA | this is the I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller’s I2C data line. There is a 10K pull-up on this pin and it is level shifted so you can use 3 – 5VDC. |
| INT | this is the interrupt-output pin. It is 3V logic and you can use it to detect when something moves or changes in the sensor vision path. |
