8×8 Thermal Sensor for Makers

The AMG8833 module packs a 64-pixel infrared array into a compact board that runs from 3 V to 5 V and speaks I2C. It is aimed at hobbyists, students and engineers who want to add basic thermal imaging to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino or ESP8266 project without a full camera system.

Simple I2C Hookup and Interrupt Pin

The sensor communicates over a standard I2C bus and includes a configurable interrupt pin that can fire when any pixel crosses a temperature threshold you define. This makes it straightforward to build a human-presence trigger or a miniature thermal map with minimal wiring and code.

10 Hz Updates and ±2.5 °C Accuracy

The imager refreshes at up to 10 Hz across a 0 °C to 80 °C range and can detect a person at roughly 23 feet. Accuracy sits at ±2.5 °C, so the module suits qualitative heat mapping and motion detection rather than precision thermography.

Questions about this item

What frame rate does the I2C interface cap the AMG8833 at?

The sensor delivers up to 10 Hz over I2C, so the 64-pixel thermal array refreshes at that rate.

What physical pins and voltage does the module need to mount on a Raspberry Pi or Arduino?

The board runs on 3-5 V and exposes power, ground and I2C lines plus a configurable interrupt pin for threshold alerts.

How is the AMG8833 wired and initialised, and which step do builders often skip?

Connect VCC, GND, SDA and SCL to the host, then enable I2C in the OS and install the driver library; many forget to enable the bus before reading data.
