How To:

• Solder the provided 6-pin header so it protrudes from the opposite side of the breakout to the sensor.
• Connect your sensor to your Raspberry Pi as per the video.
• Boot a fresh install of Raspbian Desktop.
• Activate I2C in the Interfaces section of raspi-config.
• Reboot.
• In the terminal, type this to see if your sensor is detected: sudo i2cdetect -y 1
• Install dependencies: apt update && apt install git build-essential python-pip python-dev python-smbus python-scipy python-pygame
• Install the drivers:
  

  cd /tmp
  git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git
  cd Adafruit_Python_GPIO/
  python setup.py install
  pip install colour Adafruit_AMG88xx
  

• Install the sample Python scripts:
  

  cd /home/pi
  git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_AMG88xx_python.git
  cd Adafruit_AMG88xx_python/examples/

• See the 64-sensor thermal data: ./python pixels_test.py
• See the output of the integrated thermistor: ./python thermistor_test.py
• Finally, visualize the data: ./python thermal_cam.py
