Gravity Infrared Positioning Camera

This infrared positioning camera from DFRobot tracks up to four infrared sources at the same time, for example IR LEDs or flames, and outputs their coordinates via I2C. Image processing runs in the camera itself, the microcontroller only reads the finished points. The principle is known from the camera of the Wii remote. Detection reaches up to 3 m with a field of view of 33° horizontal and 23° vertical.

Note: The connection cable can be converted to male pins with a Dupont cable M-M, so that it also fits an Arduino UNO.

Recommended Accessories:
