This thermal modules allows for 8x8 (64 pixels) capturing of Thermal data over i2c. and it is designed for the PUREmodules edge connector (add one to your design today, order an adapter, or just solder wires ). A smaller package allows putting it in more places. Just in time for your Covid-19 applications. Taking the PureModules Grideye and making it smaller. We are super excited about this project and evolving this to the ultimate embedded development starting point. You can add on a grid-eye module to your buy so you have a full ready to go grid-eye -> PC setup for all your covid-19 temperature applications. You can use our example source code here. We have a good starting point for anyone wanting to get thermal data into a PC using an I2C Grideye sensor. this provides a very large ecosystem of sensors you can connect to. The raw usb 5V is also exposed as well if needed to make your own voltages.Īlso as a bonus we have solder landing spots to add a qwiic or a Grove connector. so interfacing to any 3.3V Sensor can't get easier. The edge connector itself is easy to solder to so you are not limited to any particular hardware. This board provides a USB connection to a PC and a PUREmodules standard connector for plugging in any PUREmoudules sensor. Note that moving from a linux PC to an PI is as simple as changing /dev/i2c-x to match to the i2c overlay. Windows is possible as well, but we are not providing windows examples at this time. Just follow the directions and you are good to go. Thanks to the community Linux Drivers are easy to install and work great.

So you may never need to use a micro-controller at all for you IoT application. This makes it almost too easy to get sensor data into the cloud. On top of that when interfacing to hardware sometimes it just makes sense to have the PC do everything, especially in this IoT connected world. We also feel this is a great tool teaching those who want to move into the embedded world as you can quickly go from a hello world to reading hardware raw data in a few minutes. We can go on and on about the advantages, we feel this is the future for all i2c and spi driver development. There are much better development tools on the desktop than on a tiny low power micro controller, plus dumping data from a sensor to a file is straight forward. Being able to use the PC to talk directly to the sensors by a single USB port makes development so much faster, and fun again. We have been internally using the CH341A for developing all our embedded i2c and SPI drivers that eventually run on low power micro-controller systems. The PUREmodules CH341A is the ultimate key to making interfacing to I2C and SPI devices fun and easy on any Linux computer.
