Description: # seeed MLX90640
        
        The MLX90640 is a fully calibrated 32x24 pixels IR array in an industry standard 4-lead TO39 package with digital interface The MLX90640 contains 768 FIR pixels. An ambient sensor is integrated to measure the ambient temperature of the chip and supply sensor to measure the VDD. The outputs of all sensors IR, Ta and VDD are stored in internal RAM and are accessible through I2C.
        
        # Dependencies
        
        This driver depends on:
        - [***grove.py***](https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/grove.py)
        
        This is easy to install with the following command.
         ```
        curl -sL https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/grove.py/raw/master/install.sh | sudo bash -s -
         ```
        ## Installing from PyPI
        
        On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
        
        ```
        pip3 install seeed-python-mlx90640
        ```
        
        To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
        
        ```
        sudo pip3 install seeed-python-mlx90640
        ```
        
        ## Usage Notes
        
        First, Check the corresponding i2c number of the board:
        ```
        (.env) pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /dev/i2c*
        /dev/i2c-1
        ```
        
        Check if the i2c device works properly， 0x33 is the MLX90640 i2c address.
        ```
        
        pi@raspberrypi:~/Seeed_Python_SGP30 $ i2cdetect -y -r 1

        70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
        
        ```
        
        Next, initialize the sersor object:
        
        ```python
        import seeed_mlx90640
        sensor = seeed_mlx90640.grove_mxl90640() 
        ```
        
        ## Reading from the Sensor
        
        To read from the sensor:
        
        ```python
        Pixel = [0]*801
        for i in range(0,801):
             Pixel[i] = sensor.getCompensatedPixData(i//32,i%32)
        del Pixel[0:33]
        print(len(Pixel))  #24x32 pixel
        print(Pixel)
        ```
