Sensor evaluation kit accelerates prototyping
The Grid-EYE Infrared (IR) Array Sensor Evaluation Kit, powered by Panasonic’s high-precision IR sensor platform for fast prototyping is in stock at element14. The evaluation kit combines Panasonic’s industry leading Grid-EYE sensor, its “nanopower” PAN1740 Bluetooth Smart Module and a microcontroller on one PCB, enabling engineers to design and develop wireless sensor prototypes quickly.
It can detect multiple people or objects moving in different directions; up, down, left, right and diagonally, including hand movements for gesture control.
The Grid-EYE Sensor Module includes an 8x8 IR pixel matrix, capable of measuring temperatures ten times per second over a wide temperature range (-20C to +100C). Communicating with the evaluation kit is achieved wirelessly using the built-in Bluetooth module or via a wired USB link.
The kit has two modes of operation; it can function as a standalone device or be connected to an Arduino DUE platform, for applications including motion detection, gesture control, detection of temperature distribution and Internet of Things.
Additional features include bootloader accessible via a pin header, data display interface to PC and smartphone(Android and iphone) via USB or Bluetooth, reset switches for both board and Bluetooth, and Firmware/app loaded via JTAG header or USB port.
Four additional temperature sensors are available to support the Grid Eye Sensor evaluation kit, AMG8831, AMG8832, AMG8851, and AMG8852.
