MLX90640 Thermal Camera Blank

Post by sumitoro »

I am a newbie and trying to connect Pimoroni Melexis MLX90640 Thermal Camera to a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, however after trying several attempts with several python programs, the camera only showed “Figure 1” blank.
Can you please share your thoughts?
Thank you in advance for your help.

@sumitoro,

What example program did you run? We have a few here:

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... n/examples

I'd be curious if camtest or simpletest work for you.

You can post a photo of your wiring as well between the Pi and the MLX90640. If it is something deeper we might need to refer you to the Pimoroni forums for support.
