Exceeded expectations

I bought two of these for a dual-sensor setup. Both performed identically, which is crucial for comparative measurements. Highly recommended.

Perfect for DIY thermal projects

This sensor module works flawlessly with my Raspberry Pi. The I2C connection was easy to set up, and the library support is excellent. Great resolution for the price point.

Compact and reliable

The form factor is tiny, making it easy to integrate into custom enclosures. It detects body heat from a few meters away effectively.

Great value sensor

Integration with Arduino took about 20 minutes. The frame rate is smooth enough for basic motion detection based on heat signatures.

Good accuracy for general use

I used this to monitor heat distribution on a PCB. While it's not laboratory-grade precision, the ±2.5°C accuracy is sufficient for identifying hotspots quickly.

Needs calibration

Works well out of the box, but I noticed a slight drift after an hour of operation. A quick software recalibration fixed it, but something to keep in mind.

5 FAQ

Q: Can this sensor detect temperatures below 0°C?

A: No, the specified operating temperature range for this specific model is 0°C to 80°C. Using it outside this range may result in inaccurate readings.

Q: Does this require an external power supply or can it run off GPIO?

A: It can be powered directly from the 3.3V or 5V GPIO pins of most microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi, as its current consumption is very low.

Q: What is the maximum distance for accurate human detection?

A: For reliable human detection (identifying a person vs. background), the effective range is typically 3 to 5 meters depending on ambient conditions and lens accessories.

Q: Is there a Python library available for Raspberry Pi?

A: Yes, there are several open-source Python libraries compatible with the AMG8833, such as 'adafruit_circuitpython_amg88xx', which works seamlessly on Raspberry Pi.

Q: Does this module come with a breakout board or just the raw sensor?

A: This listing includes the GY-AMG8833 breakout board with the sensor mounted, voltage regulator, and pull-up resistors ready for I2C communication.
