Pass and Receive sensor readings between different decks

Hi,

I am building a custom deck to integrate AMG8833 thermal camera with Crazyflie 2.0. Currently I have upgraded the firmware to read temperature from 64 pixel values. Next target is to identify a heat source as the CF fly passes by.

Idea is to use position data from MPU deck and onboard Kalman calculations to estimate the position by developing an algorithm to fuse them with the thermal readings. Right now I don't have any idea about accessing those readings from a different deck using CF.

I would like to know if there are any methods available where I can communicate(send and receive) sensor readings between two decks. :)

Any of the buses should work but UART is probably the easiest to implement.

I stumbled upon this searching for answers, Im doing the same thing and am trying to find out how to set up the I2C connection and pass the information back to a computer. I was trying to use the exact same camera. Have you found anything useful?
