MLX90640 Eval Board #44

Closed gutcZHAW closed 4 years ago

gutcZHAW commented 5 years ago

Hi there

I want to read out different sensors with a raspberry pi 3 and store the data. One of this sensors is a MLX90640 which is mounted on an evaluation Board from melexis. To minimize the calculation load on the raspberry, i want the STM32 on the eval board to do all the necessary calculations.

Is there also a library (which runs on a Linux System) or a Documentation of the USB Interface of the Evaluation Board?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards

Hi gutcZHAW, I've also been trying to find a solution for the same. If you've come around something useful, please do share. Thanks!

Hi @adityac-view

I contacted Melexis regarding this toppic. Unfortunately they don't provide a library to access the eval board which runs on a linux system. I only got the description of the psf which doesn't give any low level information of the usb interface. There isn't even a schematic of the eval board so it's pretty useless for my application.

I'm not sure yet if I should use this library and access the mlx90640 direct over i2c or if I should look for a better suited hardware.
