Read data in auto or query mode doesn't seem to work in 2020 #2

Hi,

first, thank you for posting your code. Have you tried your code with a recent version of GY-MCU90640 ? Could you please confirm that this code is still running in Novembre 2020 ?

Even though we write the array of hex coded commands, the data that we get back is either empty (with parity=NONE) or is hanging (no data, if we open the serial port with the defaut values of the pyserial module).

I don't know if there has been a firmware update, or a pyserial module update which breaks this code, but we are unable to get data from the camera.

Would you be able to check again if your code is still running with python ?

My setup Python==3.7.3 pyserial==3.4

Hi,

Sorry for the long response time.

Sorry, I can't support the project due to lack of time. Perhaps the manufacturer of theGY-MCU90640 module has made changes in the exchange protocol, you need to request the manufacturer for the latest documentation.

You can also refer to another project on github: https://github.com/tomshaffner/PiThermalCam. The author contacted me yesterday and said that he is continuing the project with the GY-MCU90640 module. The package can be installed via pip. And, as far as I know, the author maintains it in working order.
