Waveshare MLX90640-D55 Thermal Camera (17220)

The Waveshare MLX90640-D55 Thermal Camera (17220 ) is a small and affordable thermal imaging camera with a 32×24 pixel IR sensor that provides high-detail images. The camera works on the basis of infrared radiation, which allows it to capture images of thermal radiation from objects. The camera has an FOV (field of view) of 55°, which allows it to capture large areas.

The camera can be used in many applications, such as temperature monitoring in buildings, heat leakage detection, heating process control, industrial applications, medical diagnostics, and others.

The camera supports I2C communication, which allows it to be connected to a variety of microcontrollers and microprocessors. In addition, the camera has low power consumption, which allows it to be used in battery- or rechargeable devices.

This camera is a powerful tool for thermal imaging and can be used in many applications for temperature monitoring and control of heating processes.
