Are you looking to have a robot hunt down heat objects or navigate using fire? Our small - sized IR positioning camera is the perfect solution. It can track up to four heat or IR sources. There are numerous applications, such as guiding robots with IR transmitters for navigation, acting as light barriers to determine an object's direction, working as a flame sensor, and tracking heat sources. This infrared camera is fully compatible with Arduino, requiring only four wires: two for power supply and two for the I2C interface. You can control it via the I2C interface using Arduino or AVR. It can track moving infrared points and send data back to the host. With a 33 - degree horizontal angle and a 23 - degree vertical angle, it can identify up to four points at once when detecting an object. Boasting high resolution, high sensitivity, high accuracy, and a small, lightweight build, it's ideal for robot automatic search, robot soccer games, and mobile trajectory recognition. Additionally, inspired by Johnny Lee's TED presentation, it can be used to create low - cost electronic whiteboards, touch screens, and virtual reality headsets. Check his blog for more details. Remember to check the power supply information either on the module sticker or in the manual. Enjoy real - time position tracking with Arduino and processing through the I2C interface.

Using this infrared positioning camera is quite easy. First, connect it to your Arduino using the four wires - two for power supply and two for the I2C interface. Make sure the power supply is within the 3.3 - 5V range as specified. Once connected, you can use Arduino or AVR to control it via the I2C interface. When you want to track heat or IR sources, simply turn on the camera and it will start detecting up to four points at a time. It can track moving infrared points and send the data back to your host device. Remember to check the power supply information either on the sticker of the module or in the manual. This is very important to avoid any damage to the camera. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there is dust on the camera, you can gently clean it with a soft, dry cloth. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your infrared positioning camera.
