Read Thermal Sensor AMG883 using Arduino

  • Install Melopero AMG8833 Library to Arduino

Melopero_AMG8833 Library

This project uses the Melopero AMG8833 library: https://github.com/melopero/Melopero_AMG8833
Which handles the communication to and from the AMG8833 module. You can load this in the arduino IDE via the menu:

  • Sketch > Include Libray > Manage Libraries
  • Then search for "AMG8833".
  • Select the Melopero AMG8833 entry.
  • Press "Install".

VirtualPanel

The UI component used for this project is (my own) VirtualPanel. It is intended as a generic UI for Arduino experiments and prototyping so it can be used for much more than just this project. See the VirtualPanel documentation: https://github.com/JaapDanielse/VirtualPanel/wiki

Because VirtualPanel is not "just" a library but contains an executable too and therefore it cannot be installed via the ide but must be installed manually:

  • Download the VirtualPanel release zip from https://github.com/JaapDanielse/VirtualPanel/releases (V1.5.1 or later).
  • Open the zip and add the VirtualPanel and ArduinoPort folders to the Documents\Arduino\libraries folder.
  • Add the VirtualPanelExe folder to the Documents\Arduino folder.

You can add VirtualPanel to start by right clicking and selecting "Pin to Start" then start from Start.
Or start by double clicking the the VirtualPanel.exe file directly.
