kami83:
i am also really interested in building my own cheap camera, but i cannot get any sensor here in Germany.
Is there any chance to get some? Any tips?
Sourcing the part seems to be a problem.
I ordered one here from as-electronic (Germany): http://as-electronic.net/shop/article_MLX90620ESF-BAD/MLX90620ESF-BAD-16x4-IR-Matrix-Temperatursensor.html?sessid=00GGQRHtRxMwPyV6emEwYDQGYumL5IhN16aK7VHOgiTEIWxkFn615nzhkErgWGDs&shop_param=cid%3D18%26aid%3DMLX90620ESF-BAD%26
Shipped within two days.
