class MLX90640(fps=64, integrate_frames=64, interpolate=3, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: autopilot.hardware.cameras.Camera

A MLX90640 Temperature sensor.

Parameters
  • fps (int) – Acquisition framerate, must be one of MLX90640.ALLOWED_FPS

  • integrate_frames (int) – Number of frames to average over

  • interpolate (int) – Interpolation multiplier – 3 “increases the resolution” 3x

  • **kwargs – passed to Camera

Variables
  • shape (tuple) – :attr:`~MLX90640.SHAPE_SENSOR

  • integrate_frames (int) – Number of frames to average over

  • interpolate (int) – Interpolation multiplier – 3 “increases the resolution” 3x

  • _grab_event (threading.Event) – capture thread sets every time it gets a frame, _grab waits every time, keeps us from returning same frame twice

This device uses I2C, so must be connected accordingly:

  • VCC: 3.3V (pin 2)

  • Ground: (any ground pin

  • SDA: I2C.1 SDA (pin 3)

  • SCL: I2C.1 SCL (pin 5)

Uses a modified version of the MLX90640 Library that is capable of outputting 64fps. You must install the library separately, see the setup_mlx90640.sh script.

Capture works a bit differently from other Cameras – the capture_init() method spawns a _threaded_capture() thread, which continually puts frames in the _frames array which serves as a ring buffer. The _grab() method then awaits the _grab_event to be set by the capture thread, and when it is set returns the mean across frames of the ring buffer.

Note

The setup script modifies the systemwide i2c baudrate to 1MHz, which may interfere with other I2C devices. It can be returned to 400kHz (default) by editing /config/boot.txt to read dtparam=i2c_arm_baudrate=400000

Attributes:

type

ALLOWED_FPS

FPS must be one of these

SHAPE_SENSOR

(H, W) Output shape of this sensor is always the same.

fps

integrate_frames

interpolate

Methods:

init_cam()

Set the camera object to use our MLX90640.fps

capture_init()

Spawn a _threaded_capture() thread

_threaded_capture()

Continually capture frames into the _frames ring buffer

_grab()

Await the _grab_event and then average over the frames stored in _frames

_timestamp([frame])

Just gets Python timestamps for now…

interpolate_frame(frame)

Interpolate frame according to interpolate using scipy.interpolate.griddata()

release()

Stops the capture thread, cleans up the camera, and calls the superclass release method.
