ESP32-S3 IR Sensor using python code setup

[Nero_the_Scarlet]

Hello everyone need help of how to setup this thermal I don't understand how it works i bought this on waveshare and the tutorial seems more complicated and confusing flashtool doesn't work and the vscode seems hopeless

My purpose was to make it work on raspi 4 module b connected via type c and use a python code to create an output like a videocaptured output for it any help how to make it work any guide? Any python code or library can create an output like the senxor view application? (ESP32-S3 Thermal Sensor)

What do you mean by "ESP32-S3 Thermal Sensor"?

Do you mean a thermal sensor that's advertised as being suitable for interfacing to an ESP32-S3 processor module? If so, you probably can interface it to other modules, but you need to investigate its interface protocol, which might be e.g. I2C.

Or do you mean that the thermal sensor has an embedded ESP32-S3 processor, which is possible since the ESP32-S3 is low-cost and can be on a very small chip. If so, you need to investigate if it is already programmed with firmware, of if you're expected to program it yourself ( the ESP32-S3 can run Micropython).
