Documentation needs work

Sensor works as advertised but finding clear wiring diagrams for non-standard boards was tricky. Support helped eventually.

Perfect for DIY Thermal Camera

Works flawlessly with my Raspberry Pi setup. The library support is decent and the frame rate is smooth enough for basic thermography.

Good sensor, steep learning curve

The hardware is solid. However, expect to spend time tuning the interpolation algorithms to get a clear image. Worth the effort.

5 FAQ

Q: Is 5V logic safe for the I2C lines?

A: No, this is a 3.3V device. You must use a logic level converter if connecting to 5V microcontrollers.

Q: Does it work in complete darkness?

A: Yes, infrared thermal imaging does not require visible light to detect heat signatures.

Q: Can I update the firmware on the sensor itself?

A: The sensor calibration is factory set. You process the raw data on your host microcontroller.

Q: Does this come with a lens attached?

A: Yes, the module includes the standard lens optimized for the 55-degree field of view.

Q: What is the maximum detection distance?

A: It depends on the object size, but generally effective up to 3 meters for human-sized objects.
