element14 first to stock Grid-EYE Sensor Evaluation Kit, powered by Panasonic allowing for fast prototyping
element14 has announced it is the first to stock the Grid-EYE Infrared (IR) Array Sensor Evaluation Kit, powered by Panasonic’s high-precision IR sensor platform for fast prototyping.
The Grid-EYE 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.
