mlx9064x

mlx9064x is a library for using the MLX90640 and MLX90641 thermal cameras from Melexis. It's no_std, but these cameras require a fair bit of memory and floating point processing power to use to their fullest extent.

Roadmap

There's a few remaining features/tasks left before I consider this crate "done":

  • Simplify access pattern iterators. I feel there's some extra performance as well as a simpler way to handle the "which pixels need to be updated" task that is currently handled by MelexisCamera::pixels_in_subpage (not to mention the naming of that function and pixel_ranges can be confisuing as to what they're doing).
  • Implement extended temperature range calculations. Outside of the basic temperature range (between 0 and a configurable upper limit, defaulting to 160 for the MLX90640 and 80 for the MLX90641), extra calculations need to be performed to account for non-linear sensitivity of the camera sensors. Right now only the basic temperature calculation is performed.
