Thermal imaging solution board for the PinePhone board

[jnpine]

Hi all, 

I just want to share my design for a sensor board that is planned to be used with the PinePhone along with a flex breakout board, I call it the PineEye. 

The sensor is the Panasonic AMG8833 which is a grid-array infrared sensor which is used for thermal imaging. 

Get design files here:

Order boards directly from here:

I hope the community likes this projects and maybe start working on drivers which are still needed. 
Please let me know of any comments or concerns. 
I have done some initial test with the board, the sensor is seen by the PinePhone. 

In the future I plan to create different sensor or peripheral boards for the PinePhone.

Presumably it would work with libraries like the adafruit python one:

If it's aimed at the pinephone rather than more generic usage it should probably have the option to connect direct to the pogo pins similar to the way the breakout cable does. I'd be careful of proximity to the antenna.

I guess you've already seen Martijn Braam's post about the MLX90640:

I tried the Adafruit one without success as of today. (Now reading Martjin´s post, as the work is aimed for the Raspberry Pi this might be why).

The direct connection could be for a later stage, the current system is aimed for prototyping. 

Thanks a lot for the link, I have not seen it before.  I will for sure take a closer look at Martjin´s work!.
