Compact thermal array sensor
The Grove AMG8833 is an 8×8 infrared temperature sensor array that delivers 64-pixel thermal imaging for embedded projects. It operates from 3.3 V or 5 V and connects through a Grove unified socket for direct plug-and-play integration with compatible microcontroller boards.
64-pixel resolution at ±2.5 °C accuracy
The array measures object temperatures from 0 °C to 80 °C (32 °F to 176 °F) with a stated accuracy of ±2.5 °C (4.5 °F). This resolution and precision level determines whether the sensor can resolve the thermal detail your application requires.
Fits Grove ecosystems and small enclosures
The 40 mm × 20 mm × 6 mm board weighs 10 g and needs only a Grove cable and a 3.3 V or 5 V supply, leaving GPIO pins free for other peripherals. It is not suited for builders who need higher pixel counts, wider temperature spans or non-Grove interface options.

Questions about this item
How does the 64-pixel array actually look when I read it in a project?
The sensor returns an 8 by 8 grid giving 64 individual temperature points across its field of view.
What does the Grove socket limit in practice?
The Grove connector carries I2C at 3.3 V or 5 V so the bus speed and voltage of your host board set the communication ceiling.
What mounting space does the 40 mm by 20 mm board need?
The PCB measures 40 mm by 20 mm by 6 mm thick and weighs 10 g, so it fits inside a 40 mm by 20 mm cut-out with a few millimetres clearance.
