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.
