**Repository Path**: lojam/MLX90640-Thermal-Camera

## Basic Information

- **Project Name**: MLX90640-Thermal-Camera
- **Description**: 基于ESP32+MLX90640 从PCB到代码全开源的红外热成像仪
抛弃 X 射线视觉，热像仪才是真正的工业超级英雄！它们不仅能看到光，还能看到热，这使它们成为发现隐藏的能量消耗、精确定位过热设备甚至在黑暗中帮助士兵的大师。它们在技术维修等行业中价值连城，它们像电子猎犬一样嗅出短路。唯一的缺点是什么？
MLX90640 的分辨率为 32x24，在众多热成像仪传感中是最具性价比的。

Thermal Cameras are widely used in a wide range of industrial applications such as thermal performance monitoring, detecting temperature anomalies, thermal bench marking and many more. We even use thermal imaging even for defense and military applications. The most common application that we may come across, is might be the electronics repair industry. In repair industry the thermal cameras are a very important tool which can make the hardware debugging much easier especially where there are shorted parts are involved. The main concern regarding such thermal imager is that they are pretty expensive. 
So, in this project we are going to find some solution for that by making a DIY thermal imager using much cheaper available components. The cheaper thermal imaging sensors we have considered are the AMG8833 from Panasonic and MLX90640 and MLX90641 from Melexis. Even though the AMG8833 is the cheapest of them all it only has a resolution o f 8x8, while MLX90640 offers a resolution of 32x24 and MLX90641 offers a resolution of 16x12. Since the MLX90640 offers the best resolution in the price range we choose it for our DIY thermal camera.
