Product Description​
RAK12052 is a 32 x 24 thermal IR array module based on MLX90640 from Melexis. MLX90640 is a fully-calibrated 32 x 24 pixels thermal IR array in an industry-standard 4-lead TO39 package with a digital interface, and it contains 768 FIR pixels. An ambient sensor is integrated to measure the ambient temperature of the chip and a supply sensor to measure the VDD. The outputs of all sensors IR, Ta, and VDD are stored in internal RAM and accessible through I2C. It is comparable in having a thermal camera (or Predator's vision) but in compact but useable low resolution.
