        MLX90641 is a thermal camera (16x12 pixels) using Far InfraRed radiation from objects to measure the object temperature.  
        https://www.melexis.com/mlx90641  
        The python package "[mlx90641-driver](https://github.com/melexis-fir/mlx90641-driver-py)" driver interfaces the MLX90641 and aims to facilitate rapid prototyping.
        
        This package provide the I2C low level routines.
        It uses the I2C from the device tree of a single board computer(SBC).  
        
        ## Getting started
        
        ### Installation
        
        ```bash
        pip install mlx90641-driver-devicetree
        ```
        
        https://pypi.org/project/mlx90641-driver-devicetree  
        https://pypistats.org/packages/mlx90641-driver-devicetree
        
        __Note:__  
        Make sure the user has access to `/dev/i2c-<x>`.  
        And easy way to do this is by adding the user to the group `i2c`.
        
        ### Running the driver demo
        
        * Connect the MLX90641 on the I2C bus of the SBC.  
        * Open a terminal and run following command:  
        
        ```bash
        mlx90641-dump-devicetree /dev/i2c-1
        ```
        
        This program takes 1 optional argument.
        
        ```bash
        mlx90641-dump-devicetree <communication-port>
        ```
        
        Note: this dump command is not yet available!
