AMG8833 Thermal Imaging Camera Sensor – 8×8 IR Array (0°C to 80°C)

The AMG8833 Thermal Imaging Camera Sensor, also known as Grid-EYE, is a high-performance 8×8 infrared (IR) thermal sensor array capable of capturing 64 individual temperature readings at once. With a temperature detection range of 0°C to 80°C (32°F to 176°F), this compact module is perfect for creating thermal imaging systems, motion detection, and temperature mapping applications.

Designed for easy integration, the AMG8833 communicates via I2C interface and includes a configurable interrupt pin that triggers when any pixel crosses a user-defined temperature threshold. It is compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi (Python), and other microcontrollers, making it ideal for hobby projects, IoT devices, and professional applications.
