Panasonic Grid-EYE (AMG8833 / AMG8834) 8x8 Thermopile Array Breakout
The Panasonic Grid-EYE (AMG8833 / AMG8834) is an 8x8 array of 64 MEMS thermopile elements with a 60-degree silicon lens that outputs absolute temperature maps and thermal presence direction over I2C. Pure Engineering designed a 3 V to 5 V breakout board compatible with Both Arduino Zero / ST Nucleo headers and the PUREmodules 62-mil card-edge Modular Sensor Architecture.
