AMG8833 Library
I have several of these breakout boards. I have been using the AMG8833 1.2 library and updated it today to 1.2.1 All of the sensors are now reading bad data. What has changed with the library?

Re: AMG8833 Library
I'll ask them to check this out. can you give me the code you are using and the results of that code?

Re: AMG8833 Library
I tested with this - https://github.com/RobotHacker/WebBasedThermalCamera
It works great with 1.2 but when I use 1.2.1 all of the data is way off. I am not at my programming computer right now. I have a theory now that I have looked at the code again. Maybe they can say right away. Appreciate the support. I have tested in on 8 different boards. (AMG8833 breakouts purchased from Adafruit)

Re: AMG8833 Library
Can you clarify what the 1.2.1 release version is? There's a 1.2.0 release, but not a 1.2.1:

It is the version that comes up in Arduino library manager. It asked me to update so I did. :)
Here is a link to it on the web. - https://www.arduinolibraries.info/libra ... xx-library

Re: AMG8833 Library
OK, there are a couple of things happening. The 1.2.1 release was done with a typo in the version number (2.1.1 instead of 1.21) on the release page. It was correct in library.properties. This may have caused some of this. However, that release was also a fairly significant change to how the I2C comms worked under the hood.
What Arduino board are you using? Fixing the release typo is easy. But also want to make sure the change did not actually break something. It's working here on a test platform. But there are many other flavors of Arduino out there and maybe yours does not like the new change?
