Unit Thermal is a human body infrared imaging unit. It is equipped with the MLX90640 thermopile sensor, which can measure the surface temperature of objects and generate thermal imaging pictures (with a resolution of 32 x 24) based on the temperature gradient formed by the surface temperature.
The MLX90640 infrared (IR) sensor array features high resolution and the ability to operate reliably in harsh environments. Compared to expensive high-end thermal cameras, this unit is a cost-effective alternative. Unlike typical microbolometers, this sensor does not require frequent recalibration, ensuring continuous detection and reducing system maintenance costs. It offers a wide field of view (110°×75°), with an I2C address of 0x33.
