Easy Integration
I was able to get this running with an ESP32 in under an hour. The voltage compatibility makes it very flexible for different microcontrollers.

Fast Delivery
Module arrived well packaged and static protected. No issues with the hardware itself. Ready to use out of the box.

Good Value
Resolution is low as expected for an 8x8 grid, but it serves its purpose for my HVAC monitoring system. Just remember it is not for high precision imaging.

Great Sensor for Hobbyists
Works perfectly with my Raspberry Pi project. The I2C connection was straightforward and the library support is solid. Great for detecting presence or basic heat mapping.
Q: Does this module consume a lot of power?
A: No, it is designed for low power consumption, typically around 5mA during normal operation, suitable for battery-powered projects.
Q: What is the maximum detection distance?
A: Detection distance depends on the object size. For a human body, it can detect presence up to several meters, but temperature accuracy decreases with distance.
Q: Can I use this for medical fever detection?
A: No, this sensor is not certified for medical use. It is intended for industrial, hobbyist, and general electronic detection purposes only.
Q: Which library do you recommend for Arduino?
A: We recommend using the Adafruit AMG88xx library, which is well documented and supported for this specific sensor module.
Q: Is this sensor compatible with 5V logic levels?
A: Yes, the module operates between 3.3V and 5V, making it compatible with most 5V microcontrollers like standard Arduino boards.
