TS01 IR Thermal Sensor - Nano or featherwing connection?

Hi all,

I'm wondering if the TS01 IR sensor (here: https://wiki.dfrobot.com/TS01_IR_Therma ... KU_SEN0256 ) can be connected to an Arduino Nano or an Adafruit Featherwing, both of which use 3.3V. The specification indicates 5V, but I'd like to use the sensor in an existing project and not have to switch to an Uno, though I'm open to a voltage level shifter. Has anyone used the sensor with a Nano or Featherwing successfully, and can you share a connection diagram?

Thanks!
