Progress:  65,6%      Hardware: v9       Code: v9.8

Change-log: 

• implemented AMG8833 8x8px Thermal Cam
• added Button2 library for Interrupt double-click detection
• enabled INA260 Interrupt low voltage alarm to trigger system power off through Buck converter EN pin
• removed pull-up resistors on all I2C sensors, keeping 10k main I2C pull-ups
• bug fixes

Issues:

• detecting SD unmount or error inside Loop() not working anymore
• removed MPU9250 for AMG8833 to work (I2C addresses)

AMG8833 Functions:

Using Algorithm from the Adafruit AMG88xx Library.

Screen shows:    Center Point Value, Max Value, Min Value, fps,  Interpolation Time

• LowRes Mode      30x28 Pixels Interpolated, 12 fps 
• HighRes Mode     120x111 pixels Interpolated, 1 fps (+Auto-Exposure)
• Full Screen burst mode    collects the highest value out of the full array
• Center Point burst mode  collects the highest value out of the 2 center pixels

Button Single-Click:    Trigger Burst Measurement (small 0.49" screen shows 3-sec countdown)
Button Double-Click:  Toggle Measurement Area (Center Point, Full Screen)

In HighRes mode i maxed out the Resolution so the frame Rate drops to 1. The Colour Temperatures are mapped to onscreen Min and Max Temps. Kinda works like a simple exposure compensation in a normal camera. The adjusted values get passed on to the LowRes mode if switched. Default temperature scale is 22C - 33C.

It features a Burst Mode (Averaging Mode) to get a more accurate reading with the 8 bit sensor values, by averaging 50 samples over 3 seconds. Measurement will always be taken from the highest temperature seen by the Sensors inside the selected Measurement Area (Full Screen (64px) or Center Point (2px)).

Issue: i can't, for the life of me, figure out how to access the full color spectrum to have smooth color transitions. I tried using the eSPI colors and a conversion method, but could only get it to work by accident with smooth colors going from dark blue to purple, and dropping 6 fps. no good. Could have something to do with the 16bit color mapping and how they are arranged in the array, since the actual 8x8 sensor values are 8-Bit, but the array only holds about 32 or 64 colors it looks like. i don't understand how to map the array correctly, or where to get a premade one.

Burst Measurement Mode Full Screen:

In LowRes mode measurement happens while displaying. In HiRes mode no displaying is happening during measuring, because we are displaying at 1 fps. So it is a true burst reading, only acquiring data and then going back to displaying, and is much faster because of that (ca 1 sec, 50 samples). Temp Numbers are still being updated and last image stays on screen.

 maxTemp = pixels[64];  // find biggest value
  for (idx = 1; idx < 64; ++idx) {
    if (pixels[idx] > maxTemp) maxTemp = pixels[idx]; 
  }

  minTemp = pixels[0]; // find smallest value
  for (idx = 1; idx < 64; ++idx) {
    if (pixels[idx] < minTemp) minTemp = pixels[idx]; 
  }

the bit of code that finds the highest and lowest value and index of the 64 pixel array. 

i know, it's just a simple for loop, but haven't used it like this before. then again, i'm pretty new to this.
