Panasonic's Grid-EYE infrared array sensor uses an I²C communication interface to enable temperature measurement at a frequency of 1 or 10 frames per second. The device's 64 pixels allow accurate temperature measurements over a 60-degree viewing angle provided by a silicon lens.
To demonstrate the potential behind innovative sensors, Panasonic Automotive and Industrial Systems will launch a Grid-EYE infrared (IR) array sensor evaluation kit at the end of September. This kit combines its "nanopower" PAN1740 Bluetooth smart module with a microcontroller. On a PCB. Panasonic said that by combining its new infrared sensor technology with Bluetooth technology and software to perform infrared detection of people and objects in an evaluation kit, Panasonic enables customers to develop rapid prototypes and quickly build their own wireless sensor objects. Internet of Things (IoT) applications. the company.
