Review on Enhanced Adafruit 3538 AMG8833 Breakout Board for IR Thermal Imaging Camera by Mark Gancio

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's not just about the product, it's also about who makes it. Great design.

Adafruit has a great website that is perfect for this type of product. By simply using their application notes and guides, I was able to install and test this on my Raspberry in under an hour. In addition to the great instructions on their website, I was particularly concerned about how this board would be installed. They even provided four holes for symmetrical mounting while also providing a matching set of through holes that will accept a second plug just to allow for stable mounting in a socket. See the attached example image on the breadboard. Other competing products subtly overlook this by providing too few mounting holes. This variant of other AMG8833 Grideye products makes it much more suitable for use in a variety of projects.
