The Sparkfun Grid-EYE Infrared Array Breakout Board is a 8x8 Thermopile array, which means you have a 64-pixel square array that allows independant temperature sensing. It is like a thermal camera, only in a lower resolution. In order to make the recording of your low-resolution infrared image even easier, all communication takes place exclusively via I2C, whereby our handy Qwiic system is used. However, if you prefer to use a breadboard, we have broken out 0.1" intermediate pins.
The On-Board AMG8833 Grid-EYE has an accuracy of ±2.5°C (±4.5°F) with a temperature range of 0°C to 80°C (32°F to 176°F). In addition, this IR "camera" board can detect the human body heat to about 7 meters or less (that is about 23 feet) and has a frame rate of 10 frames per second up to one image per second. It is important to note that although this version of the Grid-EYE is the high-performance type with high gain, it is only 3.3V tolerant. IE: Don't try to run it at 5V (you won't have a very good time).
