This enables a simple low resolution thermal imaging camera to be constructed. Camera examples are provided for the official LCD160CR display and for the Adafruit 0.96 inch OLED display. The repository is here.

The driver was ported from the Adafruit CircuitPython code, with changes to use MicroPython coding conventions. Aims were to remove dependencies on Adafruit libraries, to improve efficiency and to extend the functionality.

This now includes optional modules for bicubic interpolation of the data: this improves the apparent resolution of the images, reducing the "blocky" effect of displaying data from the 8x8 sensor.
