Hello, > >Here is the datasheet of this device: > >http://www.melexis.com/Asset/Datasheet-IR-thermometer-16X4-sensor-array-MLX90620-DownloadLink-6099.aspx > Interesting little device. indeed > Another interesting question is whether array sensors like this should > be handled as cameras or whether IIO makes more sense. > If in IIO we need to think about how to handle the array coordinates. one could just expose 64 IR channels and the temperature and leave the (complicated) calculations to user space, shouldn't be too hard (hope iio can handle 64+ channels :) I think it is not worth to expose the array layout / coordinates channels scan masks (i.e. which channels can be combined in a buffered read) are not discoverable as well I think (except trial-and-error) regards, p. -- Peter Meerwald +43-664-2444418 (mobile) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
