My take on AMG8833. I took the simplistic code using only a subset of the accessible capabilities and then combined it with the Arduino demo version, and also made it use the regular i2c libraries on Raspberry Pi and output to a screen buffer.

Pertinent links also in code: https://github.com/ayaromenok/RaspberryPiCameraForAMG8833 This is the simplistic version RaspberryPiCameraForAMG8833-master. I didn't want to use that extra GUI stuff though. For solving other issues along the way, like using the already-there i2c library and such, I went to these places.

The images are launch and also the obligatory "waving the finger in front of it".

Testing was done on a first generation Raspberry Pi Zero.

Be advised most of this is copypasta. Mainly the Arduino core stuff made to work with Raspberry PI. The hardest part was getting it to use the "local" i2c resources.
