CircuitPython Installation of MLX90640 Library

You'll need to install the Adafruit CircuitPython MLX90640 (https://adafru.it/IBv) library on your CircuitPython board.

First make sure you are running the latest version of Adafruit CircuitPython (https://adafru.it/Amd) for your board.

Next you'll need to install the necessary libraries to use the hardware--carefully follow the steps to find and install these

libraries from Adafruit's CircuitPython library bundle (https://adafru.it/ENC). Our CircuitPython starter guide has a great

page on how to install the library bundle (https://adafru.it/ABU).

You'll need to manually install the necessary libraries from the bundle:

adafruit_mlx90640.mpy

adafruit_bus_device

Before continuing, make sure your board's lib folder has the adafruit_mlx90640.mpy, and adafruit_bus_device files

and folders copied over.

Python Installation of MLX90640 Library

You'll need to install the Adafruit_Blinka library that provides the CircuitPython support in Python. This may also

require enabling I2C on your platform and verifying you are running Python 3. Since each platform is a little different,

and Linux changes often, please visit the CircuitPython on Linux guide to get your computer

ready (https://adafru.it/BSN)!

Once that's done, from your command line run the following command:
