The Panasonic AMG8832 Grid-EYE is an infrared array sensor evaluation board featuring a 64-pixel (8×8) thermal imaging sensor in an all-in-one SMD package. It detects absolute surface temperatures from -20°C to +100°C without contact, and can identify the position, presence, and movement direction of people and objects — including stationary ones.

The evaluation kit includes a PAN1740 Bluetooth module (BLE v4.0) for wireless connectivity to Android and iOS devices, plus Arduino-compatible headers for integration with an Arduino DUE. Two operating modes — standalone and Arduino — are switchable via jumpers, giving you flexibility for prototyping IoT and sensing applications.
