Sprint 4 - Update 1​
​
The thermal camera for the project has arrived
The long waited for thermal camera has arrived of project sentry but the model was different from what we expected. I had to solder the thermal camera to the pin that it provided, I had so much fun as it was really challenging.
​
The model we got is Adafruit AMG8833 8x8 Thermal Camera Sensor
​
The wiring up components are:
​
-
Connect Vin to the 3V
-
Connect GND to the ground pin on the Cobbler
-
Connect SDA to SDA on the Cobbler
-
Connect SCL to SCL on the Cobbler
The outcome of the wiring...
​
Well the temperature reading is not accurate based on the distance of a person... To fix it, I will need to get the distance of the person in order to calibrate the temperature reading.
