ExJ Infrared Camera

***UPDATE*** 2021-05-15: Great news! The required Pimoroni MLX90640 thermal camera is available again! https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/pimoroni-ltd/PIM365/9606191

This is the Open Source version of the E-byJ Infrared Camera. This is a complex DIY project that requires exact electronic components, wiring, and setup commands. Between July 2020 and May 2021, the increased demand for thermal cameras for Covid-19 screening had unfortunately caused the MLX90640 to be sold out pretty much everywhere, but it's back now (YAY!).
