here is the output of the data from increased performance. the version currently uploaded and in /updates folder is https://github.com/jamesdanielv/thermal_cam_mlx90640

it includes the start of math optimizations and a i2c cache. the i2c cache has less of a boost than i thought it would so i'm looking into it. if you were to read thru the MLX90640_CalculateToRawPerPixel section in the MLX90640_API.cpp it would look messy right now. i'm breaking down the math problems to the basic blocks, and looking for ways to cache areas and solve others more quickly.

also from the better performance there seems to also be noise introduced. this is normally filtered as part of the gain and voltage calc, so i suspect that i need to sync the frame data w the ram info. also it is about time i have the device run in step mode again. this will probably solve it as well. so this version has more noise, but it will be cleaned up. adding a capacitor across leads going to sensor should help as well.

below. there is a built in delay between frames, but look at how much faster data is sent to display. this is on teensy-lc that is lacking special math ability. optimizations also have a 2x performance boost on arduino. I'm still working on improving the serial output to terminal. teensy-lc does not use serial data.

before i started focusing on optimizations:
