Hi,
I need some hints how to visualize a thermal sensor data https://www.melexis.com/en/product/MLX90640/Far-Infrared-Thermal-Sensor-Array on RPi nodered dashboard.
Jan
Is the resolution 32x24?
What information do get from the sensor?
Do you get a color code for each pixel?
If so, perhaps create an HTML table with 32 columns and 24 rows. Size each cell to fit into whatever size you need.
Then decode each pixel color into a cell.
Might take a bit of time and trial and error. As long as you have the information, I would think it would be doable.
Hi,
interesting sensor!!
You might also create a html canvas and draw colored rectangles on it. Then you can show the canvas in any size you want.
Bart
Thanks, that was my initial though as well. I see the photo here https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_MLX90640_Arduino_Example implemented with processing sketch. That is what I would like to create. Luckily Pimoroni have libraries running on RPi, so I am able to get a text string with pixels data.
I'm running Melexis application using the Exec node in nodered and have a problem. The console output is 5155 characters and is heavily fragmented by the Exec node and some character lost. Is there a way to increase buffer size for msg.load?
It repeats every second and looks as below:

Does it really lose data or just break it into chunks - that then need to be concatenated back together ? Sending it as a massive text string is not particularly efficient - you are sending 6x the amount of data you really need to - but either way it should still get there.
Also please note that the debug node only shows about 1000 characters in the sidebar at a time - the full data is available in the console if you configure the node to send to there.
After concatenating messages,I am able to run the application ./MLX90640 from nodered and display values on the canvas. As the data is transfered through system console it is slow and unreliable. My question is how can I access the frame buffer and display on the canvas on nodered. There is an example ./fbuf in Pimoroni library, which will keep updating the frame buffer (/dev/fb0). How can I access it from another application like nodered exec.
Any advice, links will be appreciated.
Hey @janek, I'm currently developing something that should allow you to show a heatmap in the Node-RED dashboard. Had an issue with that last night, but @dceejay already proposad a solution. If that works, I hope to be able to offer you something next week ...
About the frame buffer... It would be interesting if you could post here a diagram of your setup: how the sensors are hardwired to your Raspberry (or perhaps other hardware in between), which programs/scripts you call with the exec node, ... And an export of your flow of course. Then it is easier for us to know what you are doing, without having to read all the information on the Github page.
@BartButenaers, sorry for the late reply, but I was away. My sensor (ML90640) is connected to I2C pins of RPI (SDA, SCL) plus GND and 3.3V . My flow currently displays random colours (work in progress)

Hey @janek,
What a coincidence. Just posted my latest UI node: see here. Will have a look at your flow tomorrow. Have to get up early tomorrow 
Hi @BartButenaers,
Thank you for sharing. I haven't try it yet, but my first feedback is:
- can you provide the option for displaying numbers on the canvas, not only colors?
- include at the bottom a legend (from minimum to maximum with colors) similar to the legend in a picture here https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_MLX90640_Arduino_Example
Cheers
Hey @janek,
I'm going to continue here, to keep the other discussion focussed on the UI-node.
Do I understand this correctly? Your ML9060 sensor is connected via I2C to the RPI pins of your Raspberry, and then you use a third-party application (which you trigger via the Exec-node) to read data from the RPI pins into your Node-RED flow.
I have no experience with the I2C yet, but have you already tried for example the node-red-contrib-i2c node. It might (??) be faster to read the I2C data directly from Node-RED? I'm pretty sure that other people on this forum might be able to help you with this ...
It’s mlx90640 module from Pimoroni https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/mlx90640-thermal-camera-breakout connected with 4 wires to RPi (GND, +3.3V, SCL, SDA)
. The code coming soon. Works fast and reliable
Great! Looking forward to it !!!!
@BartButenaers, download the code from here https://github.com/caenrigen/mlx90640-library and install as per README.md (BCM2835 library is needed for RPi). I modified slightly the file acquisition.cpp and make it to check if it runs. Next create your nodered flow
