AMG8833 8x8 Thermal Camera Module - I2C Temperature Sensor
AMG8833 IR 8x8 Thermal Imager Array Temperature Sensor Module
The AMG8833 is an 8x8 infrared thermal imager array sensor module that detects surface temperatures without contact. It uses an I2C interface to output a 64-pixel temperature grid, making it ideal for DIY thermal cameras, motion detection, and heat mapping. With a 60° field of view and ±2.5°C accuracy, it provides reliable data for embedded projects.

Compatibility
The AMG8833 works with any microcontroller supporting I2C, including Arduino Uno, Mega, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. It operates at 3.3V logic but the module includes level shifting for 5V boards. Common pairings include using it with an OLED screen for visual heatmaps.
Wiring Notes
Connect VCC to 3.3V/5V, GND to ground, SDA to A4 (Uno) or GPIO2 (ESP32), SCL to A5 (Uno) or GPIO0 (ESP32). No pull-up resistors needed on most breakout boards. Avoid placing near heat sources for accurate readings.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, it works with any Arduino board that supports I2C, such as Uno, Nano, or Mega. Just wire SDA/SCL and use the Adafruit AMG88xx library.
Can it detect human presence through walls?
No, the sensor only measures surface temperatures within line-of-sight. It cannot penetrate solid objects, but it can detect body heat in a room.
What is the maximum frame rate?
The AMG8833 provides up to 10 frames per second, which is sufficient for most thermal imaging applications but not high-speed motion capture.
