Description The M5Stack M5StickC thermal camera hat is a compact infrared imaging add-on for M5StickC. It uses the MLX90640 thermopile sensor to measure object surface temperature and create 32 x 24 thermal images from temperature gradients. This thermal camera hat is built for cost-effective non-contact temperature sensing, visual infrared imaging, and motion detection. The MLX90640 IR array provides a 110° x 75° field of view, a -40°C to 300°C measurement range, and stable operation without frequent recalibration. Features MLX90640 infrared thermopile sensor with 32 x 24 pixel thermal imaging. I2C communication at address 0x33 through M5StickC GPIO 0 and GPIO 26. Wide 110° x 75° field of view for compact visual temperature monitoring. -40°C to 300°C temperature measurement range with ±1.5°C accuracy. 0.5Hz to 64Hz refresh rate for flexible thermal scanning tasks. The add-on is designed for M5StickC thermal imaging prototypes.
