The Panasonic Grid-EYE is an 8 x 8 (64) pixel infrared array and looks to be a great sensor for robotics here is a jpeg of the (PIC based) demo prototype that I built to evaluate the sensor with a miniature OLED colour display.
I am seriously considering adding this device to the ALTAIR robots.
I know PTP is also working on the AMG88 but I am not sure how far he has got with it.

Nice work !
I'll be in London next week, so it's a great opportunity to see your work and share knowledge.
Digikey Link
Tiago, I am looking forward to meeting a fellow EZ-Robot user/contributor from over the pond next week!

same price as the DigiKey eval board, but more hardware.
The sensor costs 1/3 of the Evaluation boards.
The sensor uses I2C and needs only a few extra components, unfortunately is a surface mount component, and there is no one selling a simple kit PCB + Sensor.
So i end up buying the evaluation kit, with all the extra addons, maybe later i'll do a PCB and i'll try surface soldering (I'll try)

I was looking for someone who has experience with the grid eye.
I have already a prototype running with a amg 8851 ( 5v high gain).
And established a communication between the grid eye and a pic16f1518 using i2c.
For the thermistor value a receive a raw value of : 0x1e0 x 0.0625 = 30
but for the temperature (pixel 1to64) a receive values around 0x9ae and 0xAf0
if a try to calculate the temp with 2complement a got result far away from it supposed to be and that should be room temp.
Are the received values from the pixel temp register normal and am doing wrong calculations?.
can someone help me about this issue?.
best regards,
Philip
