Hi, which operating system did you use? I used the latest version of Debian Bookworm dated 22 Oct 2024 and several libraries(adafruit) are giving me installation problems.
I got it to work on the latest OS, you just have to create a virtual environment and download the libraries into that instead. Then, in Thonny, you must configure it to run with the files in the virtual environment. It's not too different.
cool, I have 80x62 thermal camera HAT, and RPI3B+, how can I use it and which library? The officially program of waveshare don't and their tech support don't reply. This thermal camera Uses I2C and SPI to raspberry
The second code set for the better imaging isn’t working for me, it throws an error talking about being unable to display update. Is there anything I should do?
Can there be a link from the MLX90640BAB to an Android phone or pc? Never done a build like this before but would love to attempt one! Need it for seeing heat from wires in walls. Would this do it?
Hi, all works fine, but on your video you get a pic with y-axis temperature in between 22 and 34. If I run the temperature shows 0 and 250. So I don't differences very weak (most is yellw and I see a little bit yellow-green). Does anybody has an idea whats going wrong? my thx in advance.
The MLX90640 thermal camera often struggles to work with Arduino because the Arduino doesn't have enough processing power and memory to manage the sensor's high data rate and calculations. Also, there can be compatibility issues with the I2C communication protocol that make it tricky to connect the two.
Hey i am not coder, but trying to to make 1 project so basically i have esp32 devkit1 , so can i use this model with mlx90640 and view the thermal image on my laptop, and do i flash it with micropython or arduino ide will work. I know its a lot to answer but i hope u will answer some😅. Thanks
Yes and no Ideally you would "flash" some compiled code into the ESP32 and then stream the data to your PC via the serial connection linking them (usb). Think of it this way, the MLX90640 is connected to the ESP32 via i2c with a code you uploaded from your arduino or micropython. The esp32 is connected to the PC via serial. You can view the data from the MLX90640 from your serial monitor (using arduino) but it will just produce a bunch of junk numbers. However, using libraries like Serial and matplotlib on python, you can actually convert the stream into a heatmap representation to create something like a videostream
Great video :)
Well done, keep it up, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Did you figure it out? I'm having the same problem.

Another great video 😀🔥👏
10:54 casually flipping us off 😆
Do you know how it behaves outside with far away objects? For example a person from 20 meters away. Would you be able to see anything or mostly noise?

You can do it via Webserver
oh thats a better one might try it
what is its fov 55 or 110

is it possible to use it with an arduino or is it not powerfoul enough? also, are there any drwaback to have a higher refresh rate?

Might be able to stream the sensor data to a PC for interpretation. An Esp32 might be able to do it on chip.
Hello will there be a problem if I use raspberry pi 5 instead if 4
No stupid no
yes, I had a good friend who tried - sadly, he is no longer with us
deviate from anything and there can be dire consequences
I had ordered mlx90640 but in the back of the camera it is written asa mlx9064x is this same?

This hasn't been considered high resolution since 1970, clickbait
is the coding same for all the different modules?
Yes its same for all MLX90640 module
Awesome..
Is this better than the Amg8833?
Yes so far so ahead of AMG8833
can we use raspberry pico
Nop pi pico is too slow.
My camera has vcc where to pin
To 3.3V
@@HowtoElectronics it will work?
