Excellent Sensor
Works perfectly with my ESP32 project. The thermal grid is clear enough for basic motion detection and temperature mapping.
5 FAQ
Q: Which library do you recommend for Python?
A: We recommend using the Adafruit CircuitPython AMG8833 library for best compatibility.
Q: Can I connect this directly to a 5V Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, the module supports an operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, so it is safe for 5V logic.
