Seeedstudio Grove Thermal Imaging Camera MLX90621 BAB 16x4 IR Array w/ 60° FOV
Description
- Seeedstudio Grove Thermal Imaging Camera MLX90621 BAB 16x4 IR Array w/ 60° FOV
- Equipped with a 16x4 resolution array temperature sensor
- Capable of detecting temperature with an accuracy of ±1°C ±3% * |To-Ta|
- Employs I2C protocol for low-resolution image procurement
- Operates by detecting infrared radiation emitted by objects
The Seeedstudio Grove Thermal Imaging Camera MLX90621 BAB 16x4 IR Array w/ 60° FOV is an infrared thermal imaging module equipped with a 16x4 resolution array temperature sensor, known as MLX90621. This device is capable of detecting the temperature of an object with a remarkable accuracy of ±1°C ±3% * |To-Ta|. Here, To represents the measured surface temperature of the object, while Ta signifies the temperature of the sensor itself.
The module employs the I2C protocol to procure low-resolution images from the camera. The camera's field of view (FOV) is 60° x 16°, and it has a temperature measurement range of -40 to 300 °C. The sensor's working temperature, or Ta value, ranges from -40° to 85°.

The camera operates by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by all objects. It gathers this radiation information from the objects and generates an electronic image based on the temperature difference information. The principle is simple: the hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it produces. This module can be connected to a Microcontroller Unit (MCU) using the I2C interface, but it requires an MCU that has over 20000 bytes of RAM to drive the camera.
The camera's specifications encompass a resolution of 16x4, FOV of 60° x 16°, a measuring range of -40 to 300 °C, a refresh rate of 0.5 to 64 Hz, an I2C interface, a voltage of 3.3 - 5 V, and a current of approximately 18 mA.
Please note that the accuracy of the temperature detection is ±1°C ±3% |To-Ta|, where To is the measured surface temperature of the object, and Ta is the temperature of the sensor itself.*

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
Please review the Return Conditions, Return Exceptions and the process on How to Request a Return Authorisation (RA) before initiating a return request.
United Kingdom consumers exercising their statutory Right of Cancellation are subject to different conditions. See the Statutory Right of Cancellation.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorisation (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A £100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tyres, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odour-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
- On-Demand Items * — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfil a customer request.
- Professional & Specialized Equipment — See the Professional & Specialized Equipment Warranty page and Professional & Institutional Buyers (B2B) section in the Terms & Conditions.
* United-Kingdom consumers retain their statutory Right of Cancellation on these items. Its exercise is subject to the conditions and exclusions set out in the Statutory Right of Cancellation, and any reimbursement may be reduced to reflect a loss in value resulting from handling beyond inspection.
How to Request a Return Authorisation (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
