|
Adafruit CircuitPython module for the AMG88xx GRID-Eye IR 8x8 thermal camera.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
=============
|
|
This driver depends on:
|
|
|
|
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
|
|
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
|
|
* `Register <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Register>`_
|
|
|
|
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
|
|
This is easily achieved by downloading
|
|
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
|
|
|
|
Installing from PyPI
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
|
|
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-amg88xx/>`_. To install for current user:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-amg88xx
|
|
|
|
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-amg88xx
|
|
|
|
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
|
|
python3 -m venv .env
|
|
source .env/bin/activate
|
|
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-amg88xx
|
|
|
|
Usage Example
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Of course, you must import the library to use it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import busio
|
|
import adafruit_amg88xx
|
|
|
|
The way to create an I2C object depends on the board you are using. For boards with labeled SCL and SDA pins, you can:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import board
|
|
|
|
You can also use pins defined by the onboard microcontroller through the microcontroller.pin module.
|
|
|
|
Now, to initialize the I2C bus:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
i2c_bus = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
|
|
|
|
Once you have created the I2C interface object, you can use it to instantiate the AMG88xx object
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
amg = adafruit_amg88xx.AMG88XX(i2c_bus)
|
|
|
|
You can also optionally use the alternate i2c address (make sure to solder the jumper on the back of the board if you want to do this)
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
amg = adafruit_amg88xx.AMG88XX(i2c_bus, addr=0x68)
|
|
|
|
Pixels can be then be read by doing:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
print(amg.pixels)
|
|
