Grid-EYE Infrared Array (Qwiic) - AMG8833

The Panasonic Grid-EYE is an 8x8 thermopile array. It has 64 pixels that can remotely detect temperature. It's like having a low - resolution thermal camera. The SparkX Grid - EYE Qwiic carrier board uses the high - performance, high - gain 3.3V AMG88 sensor. Never connect 5V to it! Use the Qwiic system for an easy and fast start. The SparkX carrier board has all the necessary passive components, jumpers to change the I2C address, and remove pull - up resistors if needed. A library will be released soon, and there are web examples to help you begin.

Using this Grid - EYE Infrared Array Sensor is easy. First, make sure to use the Qwiic system for quick setup. Connect it using the proper 3.3V power supply; never use 5V as it can damage the sensor. If you need to change the I2C address or remove the pull - up resistors, you can use the jumpers on the SparkX carrier board. There are some examples on the web to get you started, and we'll release a library soon. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical shocks. If you have any problems, check the web examples or wait for our library release for more guidance.
