Description

Product information "MLX90640 Thermal imaging camera breakout, 55°"

A sophisticated, hackable 32x24 pixel thermal imaging camera breakout! Use it to monitor the temperature of your CPU or coffee pot, or to build your own heat-seeking night vision camera. Works with Raspberry Pi or Arduino.

It's perfect for building into projects - industrial, scientific or just for fun - and much cheaper than most thermal imaging cameras. Our breakout makes it easy to use the camera with your Raspberry Pi or Arduino, with I2C and 3-6V supply. And it's available in two different fields of view, 55° (standard) or 110° (wide angle), depending on your preference.

The MLX90640 far infrared camera is an array of 768 (32x24) thermal sensors that can detect temperatures from -40 to 300°C with an accuracy of about 1°C and up to 64FPS! The applications of this camera are many: measure the heat or heat output of devices such as CPUs, circuit boards or electrical appliances; use it to identify thermal inefficiencies in your home; or use it for presence detection to identify bodies in complete darkness.

It is compatible with our stylish Breakout Garden HAT, where using breakouts is as simple as plugging into one of the six slots, creating projects and coding.

Features
  • Melexis MLX90640 far infrared sensor array(datasheet)
  • 32x24 pixels
  • Field of view: 55°x35° or 110°x75°
  • Up to 64FPS
  • -40 to 300°C detection with approx. 1°C accuracy
  • I2C interface (address 0x33)
  • 3.3V or 5V compatible
  • Reverse polarity protection
  • Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi and with certain Arduino models
Kit includes
  • MLX90640 breakout
  • 1x5 male header
  • 1x5 female right angle header
We have designed this breakout board so that you can solder on the right-angled header piece and plug it directly into the bottom left 5 pins of your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).

Software

Please note that our Breakout Garden Installer will not automatically detect and install the thermal camera software, you will need to install it manually. Full instructions can be found here.

We have written software in C that you can use to generate images and videos from the MLX90640 cameras.

SparkFun also provides a sample Arduino/Processing sketch for the MLX90640.

Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni

Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.

The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.

The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.

Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.
